If a young lady wants him to love her she should begin with "He loves me" rather than "he loves me not." She can never lose this way. On a daisy there are 34, 55 or 87 petals. These numbers are the 9th, 10th, and the 11th numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. She would surely find that he loved her if she had a daisy with 55 or 87 petals. She should beware of a daisy with only 34 petals, though. With the odd numbers she would always win.
This very old chant or game was first played by young ladies in France. The oxeye daisy is believed to have been the first used. In French the chant gives more choices and is called "effeuiller la marguerite." It goes: Il m'aime un peu (little), il m'aime beaucoup (much), il m'aime passiondment (passionally), il m'aime a la folio (madly), and il m'aime pas du tout (not at all). (Yes, the Trivia Master studied and reads in French, as well as the New Testament in Greek.)
