%N Numerators of Conway's FIBONACCIGAME.

%C Like PRIMEGAME, the object of FIBONACCIGAME is to come up with a listing of the Fibonacci numbers through a process of multiplying integers by fractions to see which produce integers, which are then cycled back through the process.

%C However, unlike PRIMEGAME, FIBONACCIGAME starts from 78 * 5^(n - 1) and stops at 2^Fibonacci(n).
