did-you-kno: Each term in the Fibonacci sequence is derived by adding the two preceding terms: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 … Remarkably, you can use successive terms to convert miles to kilometers: 8 miles ≈ 13 kilometers 13 miles ≈ 21 kilometers This works because the two units stand in the golden ratio (to within 0.5 percent).
