Egyptian Ratscrew (ERS), also known as Slap, [1] is a modern American card game in the matching family, popular among children. It resembles the 19th-century British card game Beggar-my-neighbour , [ 2 ] but includes the additional element of "slapping" certain card combinations when they are played. [ 3 ]
Players snap a set of cards which increase or decrease by one rank every card. For example: 5,6,7 or 8,7,6. Players snap "sandwiches", two matching cards with any card in between them, such as 5,7,5 or Jack,3,Jack. Players must salute before making a snap which will land on a king; When a player runs out of cards, they continue to call numbers. [6]

For instance, Fibonacci represents the fraction 8 / 11 by splitting the numerator into a sum of two numbers, each of which divides one plus the denominator: 8 / 11 = 6 / 11 + 2 / 11 . Fibonacci applies the algebraic identity above to each these two parts, producing the expansion 8 / 11 = 1 / 2 ...
If x 2 is the remaining fraction after this step of the greedy expansion, it satisfies the equation P 1 (x 2 + 1 / 2 ) = 0, which can be expanded as P 2 (x 2) = 4x 2 2 + 8x 2 − 1 = 0. Since P 2 (x) < 0 for x = 1 / 9 , and P 2 (x) > 0 for all x > 1 / 8 , the next term in the greedy expansion is 1 / 9 .
