Divisible by two

If you count the petals on a daisy, there's a good chance you'll come up with a Fibonacci number.

Me, I just get even numbers.

(Oh, there's still time — barely — to assemble a Valentine's Day Mix.)

Eh. Daisies just make me sneeze.

Two-thirds of all Fibonacci numbers are odd, so "she loves me" should come up more than the even-result alternative.

I know, just what you wanted to hear.

So simply start out saying "She/He loves me...", and you get that odd-numbered, perfectly pleasing result, 2/3 of the time.

Either way, and even best 2 outta 3,
Happy Valentines Day to you, C!
