Begin forwarded message: Folks, something a little off topic. At 3:02:01 on the 5th of August this year it will be a very special date. The date will form the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two before it. In this case, it will be the 1st second of the 2nd minute of the 3rd hour of the 5th day of the 8th month of the 13th year of the 21st century. Such a sequence will not occur again, and needs to be celebrated properly. OK, its not Linux, but I thought it worth sharing.
Fibonacci series starts with 0, then two 1s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number On 29 July 2013 12:22, DanyJ <dan062@yahoo.com.au> wrote:

easily fixed 3:02:01.0100
Such a sequence will not occur again
IMHO the year 2113 is a less of a fudge than '21st century', but hey our calenders are quite arbitrary. 13.8 billion years ago is probably the only real time zero for this universe, but instead of 'year' it should probably be counted in natural units. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_time sticking with the current system, arguably the Fibonacci sequence stopped with the year 13 or could continue with the year 342113 depending how you shift and mask digits.
and needs to be celebrated properly.
suggestions? a pineapple drink garnished with a sunflower? (ugh :-) cheers, robin
