64=65? I was a little wigged at first til I discovered how it cheats.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

At the risk of getting completely geeky, it occurs to me that this is going to work with any three successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence (e.g. rearranging an 8*21 rectangle into a 13*13 square) with the gap getting proportionately tinier and the “proof” more convincing as you climb the sequence. The Golden Section pops up again…
Completely geeky, but brilliant nonetheless!
