Kinda makes you wonder why no one else thought of this before, huh?

Holy crap. Makes perfect sense in hindsight only if you ask the question... "Who is nature's best gatherer of light"

Very cool.

Love the graph. Who needs excel when you have markers

I can guarantee you that when I was 13 I wasn't pondering applications of the Fibanocci sequence.

I was running the world out of its stock of tissue paper to Charlies Angels and Heather Locklear.

If you have a dog... it will probably clean it up.

I <3 this thread.

Maybe the Fibanocci 13 y/o will find an alternative to tissue paper and socks

Wow. Did this thread take a turn or what?

Yeah, I kind of wish I hadn't posted that. I wasn't thinking anything near what these other perverts are talking about.

I wouldn't mind if they went back and edited their posts, if for no other reason than taking my name out of them.

Stuart, make note: I did not name you.

Yeah, at 13, I was all over the Krebs cycle...peer pressure sucks!

Yeah, and I get a thread about a tasteless joke locked?

Back on topic.

Now I'm going to burst everyone's feel-good bubble about this kid.

Cache'd version of a post debunking the kid's work and (probably rightly so) blaming the media for the hype.

Thoughts?

Somebody's compensating.

With or without all the in-depth analysis, the flaws in the experiment are obvious.

Sub-optimal arrangement of panels and magic fairy dust do not make 50% more electricity electricity when arranged in a series of sub-optimal arrays.

It's a little like saying, "Maybe if I grind ALL of the cylinders and ports just a little bit differently from each other, they might perform 50% better once I eff up all 8 cylinders". It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the flaw.

Geeze, you guy are acting like this kid is smart and stuff. I have ideas I'm getting to market myself. Now when I've made my first million bucks, I expect a thread dedicated to my genioius.

and.....

Wow. Networkable Tampax!

I'm tellin ya, I'm gonna be RICH!!

re.Tampax Audibles, a big help would be if they'd just tell us of their presence, especially in a bar / club scenario:

"Don't bother, dude. She's OTR."
