    Ah yes, I always remember the Fibonacci sequence and totally wouldn’t find it harder to calculate than just doing the conversion the regular way

    /sarcasm

      “Remember”? Do you also remember all the digits of π?

      It’s defined as F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1 and F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2). Which makes more sense than imperial units.

        Or I could just do 1.6 km ≈ 1 mile whenever I need to convert from the standard that I use, Metric, to Imperial

        Far far far simpler

        Edit: I’m not American, I use sensible units, SI Metric

        Edit edit: I do fully have dyscalcus, mostly only effects “scary” looking maths, so no, your suggestion doesn’t help

        Which makes more sense than imperial units.

        But you’d only need to do the conversion if you started with imperial units.
