Re: My nameless 67
Well, if my high school maths is not too rusted 6 + 7 = 13, right?
So - if we look at the number 13 (and I hope it is not an unlucky number for you), there are some interesting names for it...
thirteen in Afrikaans is dertien
thirteen in Danish is tretten
thirteen in Dutch is dertien
thirteen in Finnish is kolmastoista
thirteen in French is treize
thirteen in German is dreizehn
thirteen in Italian is tredici
thirteen in Latin is tredecim
thirteen in Norwegian is tretten
thirteen in Portuguese is treze
thirteen in Spanish is trece
thirteen in Swedish is tretton
BUT
Thirteen is also a Fibonacci number, and in mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following sequence:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 etc
By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. Some sources omit the initial 0, instead beginning the sequence with two 1s.
The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, who was known as Fibonacci (a contraction of filius Bonaccio, "son of Bonaccio"). Fibonacci's 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian mathematics.
So....
why don't you call the Beetle
