Summary The difference equation f b :[0,1]−[0,1] defined by f b (x)=b x(1−x) is studied. In particular complete qualitative information is obtained for the parameter value b=3.83. For example the number of fixed points of (f b )i is given by $$N_i = 1 + \left( {\frac{{1 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}} \right)^i + \left( {\frac{{1 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}} \right)^i$$
