You wrote the Fibonacci sequence, up to the Fibonacci number 2,584. Then you put commas after every three numbers.

1 bonus point for Amalia, for coming so close to the correct response (don't forget millions!).
2 bonus points for Anna B., for perfectly translating the # into english and for expertly spotting that the digits were taken from the Fibonacci sequence.
Superb work, girls!

No need for ad hominum (or in this case, ad capillum) attacks!

No, my previous comment wasn't about the link; it was about the attack on my former hairdo.
