Hi everyone,

My brother and I were discussing the Fibonacci sequence yesterday when 
my brother discovered patterns showing up when dividing current and last 
numbers in the sequence. As it turns out, this is one way to calculate 
the golden ratio. Many of you already know this, but I still think it's 
really neat :)

Anyway, it was the Fibonacci sequence which got me to looking up other 
things, and I once again found the page for Penrose tiling. Only this 
time, I was able to understand some of what was being described, hence 
this image :) And wouldn't you know it, the golden ratio came in handy 
for most aspects of it!

I was a fun exercise :D

Sam
