The fibbons (Posted on 2021-03-16) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Let me introduce you to a set of integers I’ve fiddled around recently.
I’ll call them fibbons.
A fibbon is a number such that each of its digits, starting from the 3rd from the left, is a sum of 2 preceding digits e.g. 123, 3257, ..... etc

To get more profound knowledge of fibbons please fulfill the following tasks:
1. Show that the maximal length of a fibbon is 8 digits.
2. List all existing fibbons.
3. Specify the least frequent digit in your list.
4. Specify the most frequent digit in your list.
5. Denoting by f(k) the number of fibbons containing k digits, list the values for f(1), f(2), ...f(8)
6. Explain briefly how the list of 2 was generated.

overtot=0; dCt=zeros(1,10); lCt=zeros(1,10);
for a=1:9
    inittot=0;
    n0=num2str(a);
    for b=0:9
        n=[n0 num2str(b)];
        x=a; y=b;
        while x+y<10
            z=x+y;
            n=[n num2str(z)];
            overtot=overtot+1;
            inittot=inittot+1;
            disp(n)
            for i=1:length(n)
                s=str2num(n(i))+1;
                dCt(s)=dCt(s)+1;
            end
            l=length(n);
            lCt(l)=lCt(l)+1;
            x=y; y=z;
        end
    end
    disp(inittot)  
end
disp(overtot)
disp(dCt)
disp(lCt)


The list assumes that a fibbon must have a 3rd digit, so 2-digit fibbons are not allowed. The numbers after each section are the number that begin with a particular digit.

1.  10112358 is the longest, with 8 digits.

2. List is above, with 84 members.

3. The least frequent digit is 9 at 19 occurrences.

4. The most frequent digit is 1 with 51 occurrences.

5. f(k) for k= 1 through 8 are:

      0     0    45    25     8     4     1     1  
     
6. For each first digit 1-9 and second digit 0-9 pair (9*10/2=45 such pairs), the formation rule was followed and each step of the way until a sum larger than 9 was formed, the step result was shown.
