Fibonacci/Golden ratio = 1.618 Kilometres in 1 mile = 1.609

Conversion is off by less than 1%, not bad at all

You only have to memorize how the fibbonaci sequence works, which is just addind the previous 2 numbers together to get the next

You only have to memorize …

and have a lot of computing power available.

That algorithm ain’t running itself.

Yeah, it’s nice and mysterious the first moment you hear about this but all the romance is gone once you think about how it works.

By far the most complicated part is the fact that the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches a specific number (which happens to be the golden ratio, which happens to be close to the ratio of km/mi).

There are many such ways to memorize conversion ratios. Admittedly, this one is particularly cool, since you can construct it from the fairly trivial fibonacci series. But I still feel, it’s no replacement for the actual solution; get rid of imperial and adopt metric.
