what is connection between up arrow , three and Fibonacci sequence?

[ins1derrr]

I was totally confused, I have to watch walkthrough about this part. could someone explain to me please?

[Aussiedroid]

The way I read this is that the Up arrow shows the direction. The roman numerals at the top and bottom show your start point and end points. The 'III' shows initial position of the second from bottom. From there you fill in the blanks (Top two and bottom one) where the two previous numbers add up to the following number (Fibonacci sequence).

Lol, I've always brute-forced my way through that one, thought it had something to do with prime numbers.

Spoiler Alert

The solution I stumbled into is......a sequence of numbers, starting at 1 and progressing higher (the arrow) to 13....with the second blank given to us as a 3. Working up from the bottom, every two consecutive positions, when added together, equal the number in the next higher position.

So, since the lowest number is a 1, then a blank, with the next position given as a 3, the missing number in between has to be a 2. So, above the 3 it has to be a 5 (the two lower positions are 3 and 2).

Keep this up and you end up with 1,2,3,5,8,13.

Was there any hint towards fibonacci at all? I just saw the arrow and "2nd position from bottom is 3" everything else was brute force. A fibonacci spiral or SOMETHING. At that point its just guessing the obscure pattern that randomly pops up

Ha - I thought it was prime numbers too then it worked with the 8 so that confused me

1+2=3 2+3=5 3+5=8 5+8=13

If you had watched one of the Dan Brown movies there was a part in it that described the sequence. I forgot which movie it was tho. EDIT (Da Vinci Code)

An easy explanation is here

Might i add, this is NOT the correct form of the sequence.
There are supposed to be two 'I' at the beginning:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13.

With a 0 at the start afaik (0+1=1)

No.
The puzzle is purely guesswork and there were no clues whatsoever until you reach the clue that the last box is 8.

(1) X 3 X X (13)

The most you'd be able to guess is that the numbers are constantly increasing based on the arrow. From there, if you don't explicitly know and recognize the sequence, you will not solve it until the final hint.

The correct way to implement the hints would have been placing a clue that it's a special sequence ("0, 1, 1" instead of just the "1"). Instead of a straight arrow up, a spiral might have clued in people who know it, or carving in a + above the box with a 3 to clue in people who don't know it

The secret hints in this game are just confusing. Get from 1 to 13 (secret 1: from bottom to top, wow no way Sherlock, I thought upwards from 13 to 1 -.-'), (secret 2: The number 3 is displayed on a separate plate, ah so the number 3 is key in this sequence). If that is suppose to mean that the third number = 3, why not scribble that on the same line on the same plate? Now it hints the 3 is just important in the sequence. Ah so steps of 3 are somehow needed. It's weird to apply a Fibonacci sequence in a Da Vinci game with such a confusing hint. Fibonacci lived centuries earlier than Da Vinci. It was already integrated in art and math long before Da Vinci ever used it.

YES! This is totally what threw me. Can't fit the pattern if it's not the right pattern. Fibonacci is about the first thing I thought of but it doesn't fit so I discarded.
