BBC micro:bit beat an iPhone using Siri in a race

Each device was given 15 seconds to generate as many numbers as possible from the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the previous two. The low-spec teaching tool, given to schoolchildren for free, came out on top while the iPhone languished second to last.
