A date can be written as DD/MM/YY, so that for example 01/08/16 means 1 August 1916. But if you concatenate just the digits, 010816 happens to be a perfect square, as it is 104². Call such a day a "square day".
Adrian's grandfather was one of six cousins born on different square days in the same year, which was a leap year in the 20th century. All of them died on square days in leap years, and none of them lived to see age 99. Each of them except Adrian's grandfather died in the same month as his or her birthday.
What was Adrian's grandfather's date of birth?

My original had FONT tags to show colours of data which were bold, should have worked but didn't.
Dej Mar how did you paste FONT into Brian Smith's "Laser Reconstruction"? There was nothing wrong with my syntax.
Think I've figured it - View Source and post tags.
Yes, I eventually got the display but I had some reformatting to make it more like my original. Needs some work on my behalf to learn lengthy formats :-(
