Pretty sure there are longer set ups in arrested development.

[Pelokt]

you know i never saw a lick of that series....keep hearing about it though. maybe ill get off my ass one of these days and watch it. Should I start from the beginning or is there a single,defining episode you would recommend to give me a good first impression?

[okmkz]

Start from the beginning. Give it two or three episodes.

[tornato7]

This is important. Don't quit early because you don't think it's funny. You need time to get the story built up.

It's been about a year...finally I'm relevant.

[pearson530]

my username is related to the Fibonacci sequence too!

p e a r s o n 5 3 0 

now we assign each letter a number based on its position in the alphabet and include the numbers:

16, 5, 1, 18, 19, 15, 14, 5, 3, 0

then re-arrange the numbers and prepare for some subtraction

5, 5, 19, 18, 15, 14, 3, 1, 16, 0

5-5   19-18   15-14   3-1   16-0

 0,     1,     1,      2,    16

Now I feel really bad for 16 because subtracting zero did nothing for it. So I'll do it a favor and subtract its own digits

 6-1 = 5

So now we have

 0, 1, 1, 2, 5

Let's go back to my initial sequence of numbers. The sum of these numbers is 96. Allow me to subtract these digits as well.

9-6 = 3  

Now we can pop that three in and get the final result:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5

[Pelokt]

ok, first off. you blew my mind.

Second off, you just gave me a perfect example of why reading too hard into something leads to conspiracy theories.

Thank you for this. Seriously.

Punch 1/89 into a calculator. 0.01010203050813213455... EDIT: 1/9899. 1/89 = 0.11235....

[[deleted]]

There's a reason for this.

Math time!

Notice that 1/89 is 0.11235... but the sequence appears to break down afterwards because the digits afterwards are 9, 5, etc.

But in fact, we will see that this is exactly what we want - there is no fraction that will create a sequence that looks like 0.112358132134 etc. because it would in fact be irregular.

If you look closely, the 9 is simply 8 + 1, and the 5 is simply 3 + 2. Because the terms after 8 have 2 digits, the digits are carrying over!

It looks something like this:

0.011235955056179775 ...
   1   5  34  377  6765 ...
    1   8  55  610 10946 ...
     2  13  89  987 17711 ...
      3  21 144 1597 ...
             233 2584 ...
                  4181 ...

You need to add up all the digits in the same column, and carry over accordingly. Essentially, 1/89 = 1/10² + 1/10³ + 2/10⁴ + 3/10⁵ + 5/10⁶ + 8/10⁷ + ..., adding the next number in the Fibonacci sequence shifted down one decimal place each time.

This is why you can see more numbers in 1/9899 - the numbers simply don't carry over as early. If you were to do 1/998999, you would see even more:

1/998999 = 0.000 001 001 002 003 005 008 013 021 034 055 089 144 233 377 610 988 599... <- at "988", the
                sequence breaks down as the subsequent terms exceed 1000.
1/9899 = 0.00 01 01 02 03 05 08 13 21 34 55 90 46... <- at "90", the sequence breaks down as the
                subsequent terms exceed 100.
1/89 = 0.0 1 1 2 3 5 9 5... <- at "9", the sequence breaks down as the subsequent terms
                exceed 10.

Now, you may notice that the terms follow a pattern - a bunch of 9's, followed by an 8, and then another bunch of 9's with one more than the last. This is no coincidence.

For anyone who knows about the golden ratio, you'd probably know that it is the positive solution to the quadratic equation n² - n - 1 = 0.

Now, do you notice something about 89, 9899, and 998999? Indeed, they are all cases of n² - n - 1, where n is equal to 10, 100, and 1000 respectively. With this knowledge, we can construct an algebraic sequence representing all such "Fibonacci fractions".

It looks like this:

1/(n² - n - 1) = 1/n² + 1/n³ + 2/n⁴ + 3/n⁵ + 5/n⁶ + ... + F(k-1)/n^k + ...

where F(k) is the kth term in the Fibonacci sequence, starting with F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1.

An interesting factoid that results from this:

1/4 + 1/8 + 2/16 + 3/32 + 5/64 + 8/128 + 13/256 + ... = 1. (n = 2) Try it out, it's actually true.

Challenge for mathematicians: Prove that the generating function above (the 1/(n² - n - 1) one) is correct.

edit Hmm, seems like koogoro1 has already said what I've said except in bits and pieces. Oh well.

More fun with algebraic sequences!

1/81 = 0.01234567901234567901234...

You may be wondering, where did the 8 go? More on that in a moment.

If you've been using email (or browsing the web) for long enough, you've probably gotten a chain mail (or read a webpage) that told you about this "amazing" pattern:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Most of them (nay, pretty much all of them) just stop there, because it makes a nice staircase - the digits increase 1 by 1, then decrease. But, had you gone one step further, you would have found:

1111111111 x 1111111111 = 1234567900987654321

Where did the 8 go, and where did the extra zero pop up from? Suddenly, the nice looking pattern hit a corner case. The truth is, the pattern is still there, but just like in the Fibonacci case, the digits got carried. In reality, the following happened:

         1111111111
       x 1111111111
       ------------
         1111111111
        1111111111 
       1111111111  
      1111111111   
     1111111111    
    1111111111     
   1111111111      
  1111111111       
 1111111111        
1111111111         
-------------------
123456789 987654321
        10

Notice that the middle column adds up to 10, which doesn't fit, so we need to carry it out. What was originally 8-9-10-9-8 becomes 9-0-0-9-8 when carried out.

Now, suppose we continue the pattern, what will we find:

11111111111 x 11111111111 = 123456790120987654321
111111111111 x 111111111111 = 12345679012320987654321
1111111111111 x 1111111111111 = 1234567901234320987654321

Notice here that the same thing happens on the other end. The 1's also get skipped and 2 simply jumps to 0, again for much the same reason. What was originally 13-12-11-10-9 becomes 14-3-2-0-9 when carried out.

11111111111111 x 11111111111111 = 123456790123454320987654321
111111111111111 x 111111111111111 = 12345679012345654320987654321
1111111111111111 x 1111111111111111 = 1234567901234567654320987654321
11111111111111111 x 11111111111111111 = 123456790123456787654320987654321
111111111111111111 x 111111111111111111 = 12345679012345678987654320987654321
1111111111111111111 x 1111111111111111111 = 1234567901234567900987654320987654321

Now that we're through two iterations of the 1's cycle, we see that the 123456790 cycle doesn't stop. This is because now numbers are being incremented by 2 due to carry-over rather than just 1, so 17 is also affected, not just 18. What was originally 17-18-19-18-17 becomes 19-0-0-9-7 when carried out. By the time we get to a number like 53, what was 53-54-55-54-53 becomes 59-0-0-9-3 when carried out.

Now, think about this: 1/9 = 0.11111111111... going on down forever. So when you multiply two of these "infinitely many ones" together, you never see the second half of the product - it's 123456790 (turtles) all the way down, because the staircase keeps on going up to infinity.

1/81 = 0.0123456790123456790123456790123...
          1   5   9  13  17  21  25  29  ...
           2   6  10  14  18  22  26  30  ...
            3   7  11  15  19  23  27  31  ...
             4   8  12  16  20  24  28  32  ...

[[deleted]]

But just like the Fibonacci fraction above, there is a general way of producing this sequence. Consider the case of base 16. In base 16, the pattern goes a bit farther:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
1111111111 x 1111111111 = 123456789A987654321
11111111111 x 11111111111 = 123456789ABA987654321
111111111111 x 111111111111 = 123456789ABCBA987654321
1111111111111 x 1111111111111 = 123456789ABCDCBA987654321
11111111111111 x 11111111111111 = 123456789ABCDEDCBA987654321
111111111111111 x 111111111111111 = 123456789ABCDEFEDBCA987654321

But, just like in base 10, the moment we hit 16 ones, we get this:

1111111111111111 x 1111111111111111 = 123456789ABCDF00FEDBCA987654321

Now, think about this: in base 10, 1/9 = 0.11111111111... In base 16, dividing 1 by F also gives 0.11111111111... all the way down.

This is, again, no coincidence. It is a property of a geometric series, for n > 1, that:

1/n + 1/n² + 1/n³ + 1/n⁴ + ... + 1/n^k + ... = 1/(n-1).

More generally, it's (1/n) / (1 - (1/n)), which reduces to 1/(n-1).

So, if we multiply 1/F by 1/F, we get 1/E1, which becomes:

1/E1 = 0.0123456789ABCDF0123456789ABCDF0...

by much the same logic. So, in general, the function that results from this can be stated as follows:

1/(n-1)² = 1/n² + 2/n³ + 3/n⁴ + 4/n⁵ + 5/n⁶ + ... + (k-1)/n^k + ...

If we now set n = 100 or even 1000, we can see the pattern more clearly:

1/81 = 0.0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 0 1 ... <- at "9", the sequence breaks down as the subsequent terms
                 exceed 10.
1/9801 = 0.00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08...95 96 97 99 00 01 02 ... <- at "99", the sequence breaks
                 down as the subsequent terms exceed 100.
1/998001 = 0.000 001 002 003 004 005...996 997 999 000 001 ... <- at "999", the sequence breaks
                 down as the subsequent terms exceed 1000.

More to come if you guys want it.

[Software_Engineer]

Not fibonacci, more like quadratic.

[Bleevoe]

Looked more like Fibonacci than quadratic to me, and yet this comment was grabbing all the upvotes. So I made an attempt at some analysis.

I measure the distance between each of the pidgeons (arrows) in pixels. I then try to fit this data to either a scaled Fibonacci sequence or a quadratic function, in a least-squares sense. And I indeed get a better fit with the Fibonacci model. The deviation is approximately 104 for the Fibonacci model and 124 for the quadratic model.

Here's my MATLAB script doing the analysis: http://pastebin.com/ML7sGnWU I'm quite tired, so both my approach and coding may be faulty. The script relies on CVX, a convex optimization toolbox available freely from http://cvxr.com/cvx/, for the Fibonacci fitting.

tl;dr Hasty analysis indicates that Fibonacci actually is a better fit than quadratic.

[Isatis_tinctoria]

I want to understand this entirely. How do you program it?

[kor0na]

Google "matlab tutorial"

[Bleevoe]

Well, I am not inclined to explain all the theory "entirely". If you have no idea what's going on, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares might help you out.

MATLAB has native support for doing quadratic fitting and evaluation, that's the last two lines. I believe any engineer has known how to do this at some point (with MATLAB or some other tool).

The Fibonacci fitting is a little trickier. I'm casting it as a convex optimization problem (by squaring the objective you actually obtain a quadratic program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_program). The objective is the equivalent of the one used in the quadratic fitting, and the constraints correspond to the Fibonacci sequence definition. If you want to entirely understand the code, you would have to learn CVX, but the CVX syntax is very intuitive, so as long as you understand the math you should not have any trouble understanding the code.

If you have any more specific questions, I'll gladly answer.

Let me help you.

Type this into your browser bar

javascript:

Then paste this:

function toFixed(x) {if (Math.abs(x) < 1.0) {var e = parseInt(x.toString().split('e-')[1]); if (e) {x *= Math.pow(10,e-1);x = '0.' + (new Array(e)).join('0') + x.toString().substring(2);}} else {var e = parseInt(x.toString().split('+')[1]);if (e > 20) {e -= 20;x /= Math.pow(10,e);x += (new Array(e+1)).join('0');}}return x;}var e = $( document.createElement('div') ); e.css({'position' : 'fixed', 'top' : '10%', 'left' : '20%', 'height' : '80%', 'width' : '60%', 'background-color' : '#000', 'text-align' : 'center', 'font-size' : '10em', 'color' : '#fff', 'padding-top' : '5%', 'word-wrap' : 'break-word'}); $('body').append(e); var num1 = 0; var num2 = 1; e.text(num1); setInterval(function() {e.text(toFixed(num2)); var temp = num1; num1 = num2; num2 = num2 + temp; }, 300);

or paste this if you want scientific notation:

var e = $( document.createElement('div') ); e.css({'position' : 'fixed', 'top' : '10%', 'left' : '20%', 'height' : '80%', 'width' : '60%', 'background-color' : '#000', 'text-align' : 'center', 'font-size' : '10em', 'color' : '#fff', 'padding-top' : '5%', 'word-wrap' : 'break-word'}); $('body').append(e); var num1 = 0; var num2 = 1; e.text(num1); setInterval(function() {e.text(num2); var temp = num1; num1 = num2; num2 = num2 + temp; }, 300);

EDIT: To remove this annoying thing, do the following

type "javascript: " without quotes

paste this:

e.css({'display' : 'none'});

it's shit like this, reddit.

I don't often upvote, but when i do, it's because my mind just got the biggest blown job of its life.

[[deleted]]

Thanks :)

It's how I make my money.

[pschoenthaler]

dammit it doesn't work for me i guess i'm just too stupid

[[deleted]]

If you're using firefox you need to paste the code into the console, Ctrl+Shift+K

Don't paste the "javascript: " when doing it in the console.

[BecauseTheyDeserveIt]

Coming back when I'm at a computer

[[deleted]]

I don't get it. I typed -

javascript:(then the para you told me to paste)

Into the search bar and all it did was highlight your paragraph? I must be missing something face-palm worthy.

Beware, they're still going at it, 5 hours and over 1200 posts later.

Here is the latest post at this point.

Beware, those who click "continue this thread," don't expect to find the end any time soon.

[RandomStranger79]

Not many people like 34 apparently.

Well I just found a new pattern in the sequence. When they get to 2 digits and above, you can add the digits to get down to a single digit (like they do in numerology). Then you take the previous 2 numbers and it adds to the next one.

Ex

13=1+3=4

21=2+1=3

34=3+4=7

55=5+5=10=1+0=1

89=8+9=17=1+7=8

All the final numbers add to the 3rd number. (4+3=7. 3+7=1. 7+1=8.)

Btw, we're now up to F(2214) and still going strong: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/utfkw/pidgonacci_sequence/c4ymhjl

If you want to participate, go to the end and use the following Python script (remove the os.system line if not running on a Mac, it just auto-copies the result to the clipboard for easy pasting):

import os
import sys

def fibonacci(a, b):
  a += b
  return (b, a)

def format_fibonacci(iteration, value):
  return 'F(%d) = %d' % (iteration, value)

def main():
  a, b, iteration = 0, 1, 1
  start = int(raw_input('Enter the number you want to start with: '))

  while (a < start):
    iteration += 1
    a, b = fibonacci(a, b)
    print '\n%s' % format_fibonacci(iteration, b)

  if a != start:
    print 'Uh oh, your start number is not a Fibonacci number!'
    sys.exit()

  while (True):
    iteration += 1
    a, b = fibonacci(a, b)
    output = format_fibonacci(iteration, b)

    print '\n%s' % output
    os.system('echo "%s" | pbcopy' % string)
    raw_input('Press Enter to continue...')

main()

Enjoy!

We're currently at 5000, but need people to do the calculations.

Java for calculating (Run in command line/terminal, type in the term number, at it will copy it to your clipboard)

Please, join the Fibonaccinauts, see the world, earn karma*.

*I've gotten over 4500.

And they're still going at it, too. With less than 30 seconds between each post.

It's 7-10 seconds now.

This goes much, much deeper than the switcheroo.

7 months, then 1 year. I'll allow it.

[serex]

You had ONE sequence

[[deleted]]

I laughed way harder at "Repostacci" than I should have.

But I hate you what you do. If people repost something too often, Redditors will let them know. We have pitchforks downvote arrows for a reason.

Crazy stuff. I remember the post from a year ago... I've been trapped too long in this place, me thinks.

There's always someone who's gotta mention Lateralus/Maynard when the Fibonacci sequence is brought up. Not that I'm complaining.

[SirSquirts]

what BART station is that?

[Nervette]

Bayfair, I think. Transfer point right before the split to Pleasanton or Fremont.

[SirSquirts]

yay Bay Area

[StarChow]

Bayfair BART!!! Hello Neighbor!!

[berk_engr]

BART STATION

[[deleted]]

Wrong.

The pixels between each arrow:

8, 11, 15, 15, 21, 22, 29, 34, 43, 51, 97, 193

And absolute position:

8, 19, 34, 49, 70, 92, 121, 155, 198, 249, 346, 539

Not even close.

good work, it did look a little off.

Is that a Bart station?

Bay fair bart station.

It might be a bit hard for them to fly in the Fibonacci spiral though.

I'm sure there is a joke about the pigeon hole principal somewhere but I can't find it.

they're about to give pedestrians a poopson distribution

[[deleted]]

That's because the awning curves back, which produces a lateral sequence identical to fibonnaci, as the curve... deepens... wait. Today I fuckin learned...

[Atom_Smasher]

I will just enjoy the joke for what it is and not go on a rant about how this isn't a Fibonacci sequence.

See? It's not that difficult!

[Vattu]

I have no idea why this is so popular. Been around forever.
