Known for millennia by scientists, naturalists and mathematicians, the sequence of numbers1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on to infinity is known today as the Fibonacci sequence. The sum of any two adjacent numbers in this sequence forms the next higher number in the sequence, viz., 1 plus 1 equals 2, 1 plus 2 equals 3, 2 plus 3 equals 5, 3 plus 5 equals 8, and so on to infinity. The ratio of any two consecutive numbers in the sequence approximates 1.618, or its inverse, .618, after the first several numbers
I was always taught that Pinot Grigio is for the lower classes.
However, I am prepared to admit that Pino would be acceptable as long as it is a good year and thoroughly chilled, but surely a Fibonacci deserves better?

@markr,

Will your next post declare that the Earth is not flat?
I really think you don't get it.
well, show me the pattern ! Maybe I should have written regular pattern.
a side of buttered French radishes with salt might be nice with the fibonacci
of course this assumes the fibonacci has not been overcooked - but this is an irregular occurrence

@Quehoniaomath,
If F(n) = F(n-2) + F(n-1) doesn't suit you, then define what you mean by regular pattern, and give an example of a non-repeating, infinite sequence that satisfies your definition.
