Re: (TFT) Rule of Five

Why not use the Fibbinochi series (start off with 0 and 1
and find the next value of the series by adding the two previous
values.)
0 0%
1 1%
2 1%
3 2%
4 3%
5 5%
6 8%
7 13%
8 21%
9 34%
10 55%
11 89%
12 144 (actually 100%).
I rather just leave it at 5, but the Fibbinochi series
grows much more rapidly than the arithmetic series above.
