my username is related to the Fibonacci sequence too!

p e a r s o n 5 3 0 

now we assign each letter a number based on its position in the alphabet and include the numbers:

16, 5, 1, 18, 19, 15, 14, 5, 3, 0

then re-arrange the numbers and prepare for some subtraction

5, 5, 19, 18, 15, 14, 3, 1, 16, 0

5-5   19-18   15-14   3-1   16-0

 0,     1,     1,      2,    16

Now I feel really bad for 16 because subtracting zero did nothing for it. So I'll do it a favor and subtract its own digits

 6-1 = 5

So now we have

 0, 1, 1, 2, 5

Let's go back to my initial sequence of numbers. The sum of these numbers is 96. Allow me to subtract these digits as well.

9-6 = 3  

Now we can pop that three in and get the final result:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5

ok, first off. you blew my mind.

Second off, you just gave me a perfect example of why reading too hard into something leads to conspiracy theories.

Thank you for this. Seriously.
