Fibonacci and Bias

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-02 22:17 ID:Ul3i2WYX

Why does the Fibonacci sequence display a bias towards odd numbers?

As the number of terms in the sequence gets larger and large, the ratio off odd terms to even terms approaches 2.

>>9
>>10

actually that doesn't quite happen, right after where >>8 left off.

lists them vertically, just look at a place's digit in each number.

it is somewhat because of the fractal nature of it though, it stops happening because of the lower place values carrying over i guess.  youre doing the same pattern for the sequence,
F_n+1 = F_n + F_n-1 at each digit, with lower digits carrying over one place when they exceed 9, if that makes sense.  like the pattern holds vertically down the ones column, and down the tens column, etc, but only mod 10.
