00:00Curiosity comes to see me every now and then.

00:05Good friend.

00:06What do you talk about?

00:07It can be anything.

00:08Like what?

00:10The other day, Curiosity came by and we got to talking about a guy who used to play around with numbers.

00:16Who was it?

00:17Leonardo.

00:18Da Vinci?

00:19No, Leonardo Fibonacci.

00:21How long ago was that?

00:23Back in medieval times.

00:25See, what Fibonacci would do is pretty simple.

00:29He started with one, and adding one to itself, he got two.

00:33Yeah, that is pretty simple.

00:35But then he had one next to one, next to two, so he said to himself,

00:39I'll take the last two numbers in the list, the one next to the two.

00:43One next to the two.

00:44And that would give him three.

00:46And then the three next to the two would give him five.

00:49Five, yeah.

00:50The five next to the three would give him eight.

00:52Eight.

00:53And he kept playing with the numbers, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.

00:59Sounds like a waste of time.

01:01Well, that's what I thought.

01:03That he didn't have anything better to do.

01:06But it turns out that the curiosity that had him playing with this kind of adding up of numbers,

01:11what's now remembered as the Fibonacci numbers,

01:14turns out to have a curious and very surprising relationship to botany and classical art.

01:20How so?

01:22I don't know why, but there seems to be examples of Fibonacci numbers all over the place in nature.

01:27Like what?

01:28Well, like the spirals of the tiny florets found in the core of daisy blossoms.

01:32You're kidding.

01:33No.

01:34There are sets of clockwise, counterclockwise spirals,

01:38each set a predetermined number of spirals.

01:41In daisies?

01:42Yeah, in daisies.

01:4421 clockwise, 34 counterclockwise.

01:48The 21, 34 ratio is made up of two adjacent Fibonacci numbers.

01:53Amazing.

01:54The leaves on several trees, even the bumps on pineapples bear an 8 to 13 ratio.

01:59Think he knew what he was getting into?

02:01Yeah, I don't know.

02:03Sure made me curious.

02:05You know what I was wondering?

02:06What?

02:07If he could do something with Lotto.

02:09Lotto?

02:10Yeah, Lotto lessons.

02:12Help pick winners.

02:14In two weeks, the Fibonacci winner will be...

02:171, 2, 3, 5, 8...

02:22Let me write this down.

02:23...13, 21, 34...
