Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today
I looked online for 8 word Mark Twain quotes, and found that one. I double checked what the Fibonacci sequence was on Wikipedia. I realized that there were weeded letters that separated the letters in the quote. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5.. and so on. At first, it seemed there weren't enough weed letters to continue the sequence for the whole quote, so following a suggestion, I found that the count reset after every word, so that there is one weed between the last letter of one word, and the first letter of the next word.

Congrats coinsearcher!
Just to clarify though, the counter doesn't reset every word, it resets every 10 characters (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,1,1,2,3,5 spaces in between characters). Just coincidence that "apparently" is also 10 characters. I could've kept going with this pattern rather than resetting every 10, but it would get huge!
PM me your address and I'll send you your coin!

I figured people would think maybe the quote is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th, etc characters, so I was hoping to make them work a bit more than that!
