    “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.
