<h3 className="font-semibold text-lg">How to perform the trick:</h3>
<ol className="list-decimal list-inside space-y-2">
<li>Ask someone to pick a secret number between 1 and 33</li>
<li>Show them the 8 cards below and ask them to tell you which cards contain their number</li>
<li>Add up the first numbers (21, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1) from the cards they selected</li>
<li>The sum will be their secret number!</li>
</ol>
<h3 className="font-semibold text-lg mt-6">Why does it work?</h3>
<p>
This trick is based on Zeckendorf representation. Every positive integer can be uniquely represented as a sum of Fibonacci numbers, where no two consecutive Fibonacci numbers are used.
</p>
<p>
Each card contains all numbers that have a specific Fibonacci number in their Zeckendorf representation:
</p>
<ul className="list-disc list-inside space-y-1 ml-4">
<li><strong>Card 21:</strong> Numbers that have 21 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 13:</strong> Numbers that have 13 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 8:</strong> Numbers that have 8 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 5:</strong> Numbers that have 5 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 3:</strong> Numbers that have 3 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 2:</strong> Numbers that have 2 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
<li><strong>Card 1:</strong> Numbers that have 1 in their Zeckendorf representation</li>
</ul>
<div className="bg-muted p-4 rounded-lg mt-4">
<p className="font-semibold">Example:</p>
<p>The number 19 in Zeckendorf representation is 13 + 5 + 1 = 19</p>
<p>So 19 appears on cards 13, 5, and 1, but not on cards 21, 8, 3, or 2.</p>
</div>
<p>
When you add up the first numbers from the selected cards, you're reconstructing the Zeckendorf representation of their secret number!
