Special properties of number associated with Today’s Date

Dear All,
I have been collecting information from various resources regarding the special properties being associated with today's date.
It's already 5th June today. So, today I will share properties from the dates (numbers) 1 to 5.
In future I would prefer to post day wise.
In case you also wish to share something interesting kindly do it.
Any suggestions are also welcome.

3. 3 is a palindromic number in binary system (11)
4. Three is the number of dimensions that humans can perceive. Humans perceive the universe to have three spatial dimensions

5. There are three geometric constructions you cannot build using just a ruler and compasses: 1. You cannot trisect - divide into three equal parts - a given angle; 2. Double a cube; and 3. Square a circle. (Geometric Problems of Antiquity).
