Who is the fastest british runner?

At present the fastest time for the 100 meters sprint is held by Linford Christie at 9.87 seconds. This was at Stuttgart in Germany in August 1993. Of course he is now retired and so he is probably not the fastest man in Britain right now who is actually running in competitive athletics. This is likely to be Dwain Chambers who ran this year (2009) 10.00 at the world athletics championships in Berlin. This is not as fast as his 9.97 run in Seville in August 1999.

What is the largest known Fibonacci number?

Unlike some other types of numbers like prime numbers, calculating large Fibonacci numbers can be done quite easily with even a standard household computer. The process involves only repeated addition (rather than the intense division processes involved with large prime numbers). Beyond that, large Fibonacci numbers do not serve as much purpose as other large numbers (like primes). Because of this, these large numbers are generally left for quick calculation by machine if ever necessary.

An example of a computer program that could calculate the nth Fibonacci number (n greater than 1 and counting the first 1 in the sequence as the second term) is given below in pseudo-code:

Function Fibonacci(n)

a = 0

b = 1

k = 2

While n > k

(

a + b = c

a = b

b = c

k = k + 1

)

Print b

A very large Fibonacci number is the 250th in the sequence which has a value of:

12776523572924732586037033894655031898659556447352249.

The 1000th term in the sequence is:

4346655768693745643568852767504062580256466051737178040248172908953655

Much, much larger values (even beyond the 10,000,000th term) can be calculated quite quickly with a simple, well-written program. See related links for a site which can quickly calculate large Fibonacci numbers (using the form Fibonacci n).

What is the biggest silver nugget ever found?

The "Welcome Stranger" was the name given to the largest gold nugget ever found and recorded. It measured 61 cm by 31 cm and was discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, western Victoria, Australia on 5 February 1869 about 9 miles north-west of Dunolly and half-way between Maryborough and St Arnaud. It was found only 5cm below the surface on a slope leading to what was then known as Bulldog Gully and it weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg. The finders were paid £19,068. The Welcome Stranger is not the same as the "Welcome Nugget" found in Ballarat in 1858 which was the largest single nugget prior to the discovery of the Welcome Stranger.

However, larger than this is the Beyers and Holtermann nugget, the largest single piece of reef gold ever discovered in the world. The Beyers and Holtermann nugget was, strictly speaking, not a nugget, but what is called a matrix. Weighing in around 286 kilograms(about 630 pounds), it measured 150cm by 66cm, and was worth at least £12,000 at the time it was discovered, in October 1872. It was discovered by workers at the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co on Hawkins Hill, at the Hill End goldfields in New South Wales, Australia.

As to reef gold, gold sometimes appears as a "vein" included in rock, frequently quartz. In this case it was a quartz reef. By removing the rock around the vein, the gold included in that vein can be recovered in one piece. And that was the case with the Holtermann Nugget.

What is currently the largest nugget on display is probably the Hand of Faith Nugget. This 875 troy ounce (61 pounds, 11 ounce) nugget was discovered in 1980 by the use of a metal detector. It was buried some six inches below the surface of the ground near Wedderburn, Australia, about 40km north of Moliagul, where the Welcome Stranger was found.
