Question

The difference between the 13th and 12th Fibonacci number is __________ (if the first two numbers are F1 = 1, F2 = 1).

The correct answer is

89

In the Fibonacci sequence each term is the sum of the two terms just before it.

Fibonacci rule: Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2, so F13 - F12 = F11

Sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233
F11 = 89, F12 = 144, F13 = 233

Difference = 233 - 144 = 89

Check: 89 is exactly the 11th term, as the rule predicts.

Hence, 89.
