So, F(1) =~ 3.44833 ?

Wish it was easier to present formulae here. I get 5. I'm just interpreting the formula structure incorrectly somehow.

F(1) = 2*sqrt(5) / 2 * sqrt(5) = 1.


I read that as: Function of one = 2 times square root five divided by two, TIMES square root five.

Possibly...

Here's a link: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BinetsF...erFormula.html

Ok, now I'll try it out

Works now.

How I would've presented it:

F(n)=[(1+sqrt5)^n - (1-sqrt5)^n] / 2^n(sqrt5)

Guess it's pretty much the same thing. Just MY goofy ass interpretation is all.

Now I get F(1) = 1

I can't bring myself to do that - in all the programming languages I use on a day to day basis, [] means something much different than ()

I see Hey and since you're a program language writer.

You're going to laugh at this one Maybe not

I was thinking awhile back. This is evil ok

What you do is have a link online somewhere. The link is titled "the last act of a suicide bomber". It's in a little film clip format and shows an eye level veiw (what the bomber would be seeing) of this suicide bomber strolling into a large crowd of people somewhere. At the very last, you see his hand go into his jacket and fiddle with something. Then, you see an extremely short bit of smoke and fire and noise and then the WHOLE computer screen goes blank. The computer that was being used to VEIW the file is forced into an uninterruptible DOD hard drive format/wipe of ALL data. Everything would be unrecoverable. O.S. wouldn't matter. The drive would need to be reformatted and an O.S. reinstalled.

Probably not doable ....... but maybe

Are you referring to the feasibility of having a link that would wipe the end-users hard drive? If this is the case, there are several considerations that would make this plan nearly impossible...
