That officer is a fool.  I'd say it'd be much more likely to relate to the first ''prime'' number (assuming you ignore 1, as apparently you're supposed to) than the third Fibonacci one, barring any prior incidents that might or might not be attributed to the same killer.  Of course, we'd perhaps have to wait until three crime-scenes later to work out which of these patterns our Malevolently Mathematical Mastermind of Murder has memetically manipulated for us...  Holy Torii, Batman!  (And no wonder the policemen like both donuts and coffee cups...  They're the same...)

" a man (presumably a former Mathnet member" - Not just anyone, the officer calls him George. George Frankly was the main character on the show. Just putting it out there. --[[User:Alcatraz ii|Alcatraz ii]] ([[User talk:Alcatraz ii|talk]]) 22:43, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

The original Fibonacci problem was formulated about the count of multiplying pairs of rabbits, starting with one pair. So 2 is definitely the 3rd number, not 4th, in that formulation. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.5|108.162.246.5]] 22:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I am unsure, but could the use of the word 'Golly' in the title text be a reference to the popular program to run Conway's game of life which goes by the same name? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.105|141.101.99.105]] 16:53, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
There was a week-long series of Mathnet wherein the Fibonacci series was the focus and a recurring theme, including columns of tiles and artwork, and a parrot who'd call out "Eureka!" The mystery was of the "I inherited a clue about a key..." type. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.163|108.162.216.163]] 13:46, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

George should have tried to use visual calculus to unleash the power of 1.618033988749; not just aritmetics.
