{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

It's pretty amazing how much we see fibonacci numbers and Phi in the natural world, for instance in Nautilus shells, sunflower seeds and the human body.

Some people would argue that this shows evidence of intelligent design, personally I believe that nature evolved to utilise Phi due to its mathematical properties, such as being able to pack as many sunflower seeds as possible onto the seed head.

Off-topic, I'm also really interested in other examples of maths in strange places, such as the mathematical relationship between the frequencies of musical notes, and with rhythm in music.
