I split all the GCSE Maths past papers into odd and even numbers making the perfect 45min homework paper.

In case you aren't in the extensive maths-nerd bubble, here are some nice number properties of 2025 that "everyone" is talking about: * 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through * 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025 * 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+7^3+8^3+9^3 = 2025
