A Fibonacci series is a set of numbers that form a specific and special pattern. This pattern sometimes appears in biological settings, such as an arrangement of leaves on a stem or spirals on a sunflower head. For more on this series of numbers, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number#Fibonacci_numbers_in_nature The following set of numbers form a Fibonacci series. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, .. To see how to build this series, add together the first two numbers (0, 1 = 0 + 1) and then write the sum of the first two numbers as the third number (0+1=1). Then take the second and third numbers (1, 1) and add them together to get the fourth number (2), and so on.

 

Look at the above set of numbers 0 to 144.

Now try to work out what is the one number that will come next in this series, after 144. Check the one correct answer below.
