:Hi Gerard, I read it the other way round. From [[wp:Number_prefix#Greek_series|greek prefixes]], if we have tri-pod and octo-pod and we have trib'''o'''nacci and not trib'''a'''nacci, then surely we need oct'''o'''nacci as well. Google [http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=octonacci&word2=octanacci fight] shows that there is some confusion but even here, the octonacci term seems to 'win'. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:43, 25 May 2012 (UTC) |

Lucas sequence redirect
I can't remember how to do a redirect. Could someone create and redirect Lucas sequence to this task, thanks. --Paddy3118 05:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Got it for you. --Mwn3d 13:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
octonacci vs. octanacci
(spelling). The term octonacci seems to be a misspelling. It should be octanacci. The misspelling in the OEIS database entry A104415 is (most likely) being changed as I typeth (as it was just edited for correction by me). -- Gerard Schildberger 17:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Gerard, I read it the other way round. From greek prefixes, if we have tri-pod and octo-pod and we have tribonacci and not tribanacci, then surely we need octonacci as well.
