1+1=2 1+2=3 2+3=5
Aaron teaches me something new every day, and you know I am insatiable when it comes to knowledge. Yesterday he taught me how to multiply by 9 using your fingers, and tonight he taught me about the Fibonacci code. And to think; I used to hate math.
so Aaron are you going to come here and explain to us all what that code is, and also how to do the multiplication of 9 on your hands? come on and tell us!
So Fibo was an Italian math geek who tried to develop his own counting system. What he did is create a pattern that he started with 1. When you add 1 and 1 together you get the answer 2 the next number in his system. SO then you have to add the answer (in this case 2) and the last number in the problem 1 together and that gives you 3. Now you add the answer(3) and the last number of the problem (2) 2+3=5. Now the 3 and the 5, 3+5=8 and continuethis till you cant go any further. Not sure why he had to stray from the norm. I dont think I was paying attention in that class to hard but it probablly had something to do with a girl and he had to impress her. It worked for me atleast:)
