Wikipedia says it is a square pyramidal number, a sum of squares, and so it means you can build a square pyramid out of that number of balls. Why anyone would want to try and build a pyramid out of balls is beyond me -- they'd just roll away. I'll stick with my thirty doughnuts and some more time in bed, if you don't mind.

just in case there are any doubters left, just compare how infinitely *more* civilised "11:30" sounds than 9:00.
i'd stick with the doughnuts too, but maybe you could build a pyramid out of them.
damned, now i want a doughnut, and (coincidentally) it's past 11:30 at night.
