  1. Is this right? Surely 13 is wrong.
    (I spotted this by looking at "W+W=W; B+W=B; B+B=W+1" as any primary school kid would do!

    13 = 1*8 + 1*4 + 0*2 + 1*1 = 1101 (binary) = Black, Black, White, Black

    or try: http://shell.cas.usf.edu/math/mug/fib.htm
    at the bottom there are buttons: "binary Fibonacci display through 8", "binary Fibonacci display through 64", etc
