Definition: The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows: F_1=1 , F_2=1 , F_3=F_1+F_2 , ..., F_n=F_{n-2}+F_{n-1} , ... .
Regulation: The ratio of pairs of consecutive Fibonacci numbers -> Golden Section, i.e. \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{{{F_{n - 1}}}}{{{F_n}}} = Golden Section.
Fact: The Golden Section is the length of any diagonal of a regular pentagon with side=1.
