Fibonacci

Better add this guy to the top 3-year old turfers in the country. Just went a mile and an eighth in 146 and 1 coming home in 35 and 3. Wow!!

I had it closer to 35 and 3/5, I see you had 4/5.

I based mine off of 1:10.61 and 1:46.25

No, I didn't have anything.

"35 3" is not a Fibonacci sequence. "358" is.

(It was a nerd joke.)

Really very simple.

1,1,2,3,5,8,13...

1st number + 2nd number = 3rd number

2nd number + 3rd number = 4th number

and so on.

Wrong denominator. The fractions need to be expressed in eighths, not fifths of a second.

One of my neighbors has a license plate 0112358D (we're restricted to 8 characters). He said I was the only one who got it. What nerds we are!
(And for non-nerds, D is the hex representation of decimal 13).
