144 is one of the numbers of the Fibonacci series. Is that it?

I get some what "obsessed" with that series of numbers some time ago.

The bishop was first designed on paper inside of a golden rectangle,the length between first collar and a ball on top is 3.14~.When you draw a circle and raise it, you will get the height of the bishop.Also the head of the bishop is 1.44 cm,can you recognize the number? Every part of the bishop has a meaning,I will write much longer essay about it if you want

I don't recognize 1.44. It's close to the square root of 2 (1.414) but not exact. So what is 1.44? If you made the head of the bishop √2 but you used 1.44 and not 1.414 then you need to start over and make a new one!

The figure 144 is one of the most important figures for are universe,prophecies are related to it,Luca Pacioli was born on that number,artists of Renaissance were implementing the figure into paintings and a lot more that is impossible to explain in few sentences .If you really want me to explain you the figure,contact me.

Oh that's cool! I just remembered 144 is also 12² (12 squared).

Now I know you didn't make a mistake, so you don't need to make the piece again.wink.png

It's great work! Thanks for sharing the pictures and the trivia about the numbers!happy.png

You are welcome,by the way one interesting fact is that Antonio Stradivarius used these "sacred numbers" and specially 144 to make his violins,but there is a lot more math in that than just few figures.
