Mathworld's page on Zeckendorf's theorem mentions that it applies to {F-1}, that is, the Fibonacci sequence with one of the 1s removed, and presumably without the 0. —[[User:Sonia|Sonia]] 22:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

: There simply can't be two 1s, otherwise a lot of numbers won't have unique summation: anything in for form of big_fib + 3 can also be written as big_fib + 2 + 1 (that's using the first one; the second one would be next to 2, if that makes sense -- well if it doesn't, it sort of proves the point also.) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 01:27, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

:I will modify the task description to specify an algorithm to use that can only give a unique sequence. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 12:08, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
