Welcome to the 209th Carnival of Mathematics!
209 has a few distinctions, including being the smallest number with 6 representations as a sum of 3 positive squares:
$$\begin{aligned}209 &= 1^2 + 8^2 + 12^2 \\\ &= 2^2 + 3^2 + 14^2 \\\ &= 2^2 + 6^2 + 13^2 \\\ &= 3^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 \\\ &= 4^2 + 7^2 + 12^2 \\\ &= 8^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 \end{aligned}$$ As well as being the 43rd Ulam number, the number of partitions of 16 into relatively prime parts and the number of partitions of 63 into squares.
