minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·8 months agoBy far the most complicated part is the fact that the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches a specific number (which happens to be the golden ratio, which happens to be close to the ratio of km/mi).
minus-squareidunnololz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoThe coincidence is still pretty cool

you’re welcome
