That’s… pretty weird.
I’m not much for math but it seems like the reason this works is because the fibbonacci sequence increases by approximately 1.61 at each step, which just happens to be the relationship between miles and km.
it’s just coincidentally the ratio of miles:km is very close to the golden ratio
As for remembering the Fibonacci numbers
In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it.
So you need to remember the first two numbers are 3 and 5, and the rest can be extrapolated
3+5=8
8+5=13
You don’t really need to remember 3 and 5. Start with 0 and 1.
- 0 + 1 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 2
- 1 + 2 = 3
- 2 + 3 = 5
Good point, start from 0 and 1 and remember that the conversion starts to work from 3 miles
