POW #2: A Bit More About Bit Strings
A bit string is a sequence of digits consisting only of 0s and 1s.
In the previous Problem of the Week you were asked how many
12-digit bit strings contain no consecutive 1s. Now figure out
a formula f(n) for the number of n-digit bit strings
containing no consecutive 1s, AND make clear how this formula is related
to the Fibonacci sequence.
