@Fibonacci1618 -- Hello, and welcome to the group. Question: Why did you use 1618? It's not a Fibonacci number, so it piqued my curiosity.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.@evidentialist hey, whats up man? Thanks for the greet and the welcome. The numbers 1618 are representative of the Golden Ratio. Which is actually missing a decimal. (1.618...) The ratio of the spiral of our Galaxy, the development of a fetus, the ratio of many parts of the human body, and plants and blah blah.

Should have my ____ thing placed in a vice for missing that one. Normally pride myself in recognizing patterns rather quickly and that one slid right on by without so much as a whimper. Crap. Guess it's time for the shuffleboard courts for this old duffer.
The start of The Gregorian calendar which I read somewhere was not in local use at the time and place of Washington's birth. So Washington was not actually born on Washington`s birthday.

Actually the Gregorian calendar was implimented on 1752, and old Georgie was born on February 22nd 1733 so the loss of the 11 days do to the change would not have affected his birthday buddy. But cool post about the calendar change

Some of those definitions are pretty nifty. I particularly like "Heisenberg principle"!
