Anyone know what these numbers mean?

Post by TheStatPow »

So i decided to go do some digging in the internet archive and blahblahlah.

So i felt on a few image including this one :

I tried searching up using google's image search engine but it seems like nobody had found or talked about this one yet.

The image is titled boc_ratio4.jpg in the source code.

other interesting fact: "expressed as: the ratio of A to B; A is to B (followed by "as C is to D"); A:B; A fraction"

From the wikipedia about ratio :)

Specifically, terms 23 through 29 in the sequence (when the 0 is counted as the 0th term).

Let phi = golden ratio

Then: [phi^23 - (1/phi)^23] / sqrt(5) = 28657
