Interesting Fact about Fibonacci:

It is in nature like the branch of the trees, the arrangement of a pine cone, and the straighten fern. For the flowers, the number of petals is a Fibonacci number.

Because according to superstition, it is lucky since four is not a Fibonacci Number and it is rare.
