This weeks Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge is

"Fibonacci"

you'll have to research this one, but there is plenty of scope for variety.....

have fun!

Lee and Bev

[beverley_h]

and we wanna know....who had to research this?

bev n lee

[johnwaine]

Which shape of pasta is this?

[clickaway]

so which books did Lee take on holiday with him?

[servoshot]

The golden section in nature, art, geometry, architecture, music, .....

Grtz, Marc

[ed_preston]

I did, and I'm still not sure what I will do, but I'll post something!

(after all, I'm a big wheel and I go around in circles!)

[sbbish]

[corypdot]

Can we have an alternate challenge for those of us who are Math Impaired??

[cocameli]

Great topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll start thinking.

Here you go Brainiacs:

Fibonacci numbers, series, or sequence,
the continuous series or sequence of numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, in which each number is the sum of the preceding two numbers.
Ex. The number of spiral floret formations visible in many sunflowers ... and segments on the surface of a pineapple have been found to match Fibonacci numbers (Time). To make a C-major chord, you can play the third note of the octave (E), the fifth note (G), and the eighth note (C). So your chord is made up of notes 3, 5, and 8, a Fibonacci series (Diane Sherman).

does this work_ a shot of those 8 babies (that a wacko lady had in California.).... her 6 previous kids plus 2 parents=8 too many

I think I like johnwaine's pasta idea

The key Fibonacci ratio of 61.8% - also referred to as "the golden ratio" or "the golden mean" - is found by dividing one number in the series by the number that follows it. For example: 8/13 = 0.6153, and 55/89 = 0.6179.

The 38.2% ratio is found by dividing one number in the series by the number that is found two places to the right. For example: 55/144 = 0.3819.

The 23.6% ratio is found by dividing one number in the series by the number that is three places to the right. For example: 8/34 = 0.2352.
