Thoughts on using fibonacci sequence for resteruant serving sizes? Mcdonald's would have 5, 8, 13 and 21 mcnugget sized servings. Fibanacci sequence approaches golden ratio.

The jump from 10 to 16 is less of an abrupt jump than from 10 to 20. It seems more likely that 16 would be satisfying if you are hungrier than what 10 nuggets would satisfy with 20 being too much. I'm sure most who buy 20 piece nugget are when they are buying for two. But you could still buy 20 with 2 10s.
4/6/10/16 does allow for more options.

Why not having them on banknotes if banks are so good in mathematics they should know it will be always pair for one like in particle physics.

We are talking about the very people who send the world into recessions, repeatedly.

Fibonacci sequences have no really world applications

If you want to be able to order any number of nuggets then the most efficient is increasing by a factor of e which rounds up to 3. Assuming you're okay with adding 1 nugget ala carte to an order you can have orders of 1/3/9/27 nuggets. Want 10? 9+1. Want 8? 3+3+1+1. 16? 9+3+3+1. You would never need to order more than two of the same denomination.

The ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio, not the numbers themselves

Fibonacci heaps have real world use since they can be significantly faster in certain situations. Either way, Fibonacci has very useful for understanding recurrences and tying together a lot of theory that *is* very practical.

Interesting. This uses the number of base-b digits as the measure of cost, what if we used the sum of the digits instead? That would correspond to the total number of servings you would have to order, whereas the number of digits is the corresponds to the logarithm of the largest size of serving you would order when ordering as few servings as possible (for the same total amount)

Funny how you didnt even notice that your post doesnt actually mention a single real world application.

But I know you nerds. Thats how your brain operates. You are good only at a very small narrow subset of things.

Don't know how to prove it but I'm pretty sure you would get binary.
10=8+2
13= 8+4+1
7 = 3+2+1
If you drop the 1 nugget option you can still order any even number of nuggets up to 30 with only 4 options, 2/4/8/16, while ordering no more than one of each.

We need to get this information to mcdonald's ceo ASAP
