  2. Did everyone miss the time cap value and the rep scheme of this WOD? Fascinating. Witty WOD Lofland, witty WOD.

    3-5-8-13 are the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th integers in the sequence. Take any 2 sequential numbers and divide the larger by the smaller one and you get around 1.6. It is this ratio (the golden ratio) that many of the great ancient works of art and architecture have been centered around (as can be seen in the link posted above).

    Another interesting work of art that has been put to the Fibonacci Sequence is Tool's song Lateralus check it out:

    PS ALSO just noticed this. Ava hit the golden ratio finishing 8 complete rounds and 5 HSPU. 8/5 = 1.6
    OR
    The number of reps in the completed rounds divided by the number of reps in the unfinished round = 128/8 = 16 which is 10*1.6(TheGoldenRatio)

    PPS I'll do this WOD tomorrow (Friday)
