one is the fear of the number 13 and the other is the number is the sum of the previous 2 numbers ... 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 etc. other than that I don't know .
 
I don't get it...

Triskadecktaphobia is indeed the fear of the number 13, and the Fibonaci sequence does have the number 13 in it...

But I get lost when I read the response above - I don't see how the Fibonaci sequence would have a 1.3 to 1 ratio...I was thinking it had something to do with the Golden Proportion that the Greeks discovered, but I think that's 1.6 to one...

So I'm lost on teh actual answer (unless it's as simple as 13 is in the fibonacci sequence)

PM me if you think you have solved the riddle. Do NOT post the answer.

A random correct answer will win a prize from Exotics!!!!

Roy just "upped the ante"--he will include a rod of bakelite for the winner, the 28th correct answer. However, you have to identify WHY the 28th would be significant, in your email to me. (You can win the Exotics prize and not win Roy's, if you can't figure out both questions)

I will tell you if you are correct, you may enter as often as you like.

Call it "MiteMoney" entry.

Thanks DozerMite for playing along!!
