[edit] Random Thoughts

"This statement has no proof" is undecidable. Is it true? Is it false? (Well, if it were false, then it would have a proof, meaning it is true. That's a contradiction, hence it must be true. But that is a proof of the statement, therefore it must be false...)

[edit] Fibonacci Numbers in Magic: the Gathering

Sprouting Phytohydra + Pyrohemia (Either Pestilence or Pyrohemia is acceptable): You start with 1 phytohydra, activate the Pyrohemia, and you get a token, for 2 hydrae. Activate it again, two more are created and the original dies, for 3 total.

I start with $F 0$ (zero) damaged hydrae, and $F 1$ (one) undamaged hydrae, or $F 2$ hydrae in total. In general, when I have $F n$ damaged hydrae and $F n + 1$ undamaged ( $F n + 2$ total), when I activate Pyrohemia, the damaged ones die, the undamaged ones become damaged, and I get $F n + 2$ new hydrae, giving me $F n + 1 + F n + 2 = F n + 3$ hydrae. Thus, barring external interference, the number of hydrae I have after $n$ activations of Pyrohemia is $F n + 2$ .
