Oh dear, this must be posted in response to one of the last things from the last Hivemind before I went to sleep:
(F n-1) + (F n-2) is *not* the elegant solution. It is in fact the terribly inelegant solution. Even 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 is better!
The elegant solution I haven't mentioned yet. It works in logarithmic time (so if you want the 1267650600228229401496703205376th Fibonacci number, I can get it for you in 100 steps, whereas the 1 1 2 3... method would take 1267650600228229401496703205376 steps, and the awful (F n-1) + (F n-2) method would make the universe explode before it ever found the answer.

Is that beat in a goodway or in a bad way?(OOC: Indeed--it looks like the group will beat the average playtest result of the encounter for attacking the hobgoblins and then never retreating(I playtested a few different scenarios a few times). Hurray!!)
How long until Jdvn's character is...?
