Ok, I did an actual comparison now, not by calculating the frames for one move (which I failed miserably the first time), but in a real-world example by using the Cherrygrove Rival with different possible hit/miss combinations:- Growl miss, Tackle miss: 19208 (current strategy, reference) - Growl miss, Tackle hit: 19242 (+34 frames, e.g. way slower) - Growl hit, Tackle miss: 19194 (-14 frames, e.g. faster) - Growl hit, Tackle hit: 19230 (+22 frames, more or less the difference)

The existence of such a representation is not so difficult to imagine once you know any integer can be written as the sum of distinct Fibonacci numbers, as you can see that the densest sum F(2)+F(3)+F(4)+F(5)+F(6)+F(7)+... can change into F(4)+F(6)+F(8)+... as desired. The proof of the uniqueness, however, is a little formal since it often requires a non-constructive argument.
I tried to upload a screen capture of it, but... crap, ImageShack begins to ask me for money.

For me, the errors occurred when loading the Saturn game Magic Knight Rayearth ("Magic Knight Rayearth.bin") as well as the Sega CD games Terminator ("Terminator.bin") and Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors ("PTSM1.bin"). No error occurred when loading the Saturn game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/Nocturne in the Moonlight ("Castlevania - Symphony of the Night.iso"), so I don't know whether or not this is a BIN problem.
While we're on Fibonacci numbers, I remember my old maths teacher was very proud of being the first person to prove the following: The only Fibonacci numbers which are also twin primes are 3, 5 and 13. (A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by 2.) He never showed us the proof, but it must have been relatively elementary for a proof discovered in the 80's because he never even did a master's. If anyone can find a proof, I'd be really happy indeed. Also I guess the fact that elementary proofs keep popping up to solve age-old problems is hope for amateur mathematicians everywhere.

Basically, hundreds of years ago, before electrons were discovered, somebody guessed randomly that the charge carriers in a metal were positive. He guessed wrong. Physics has never changed the convention.
Perhaps the most unintentionally amusing comment I have seen in the twitch chat: "dig out or commit sudoku"
Sudoku might be easier to do at this rate.
