The Golden Ratio

[Speedtape]

What significance is 1.618, and how can it be applied in aeronautical engineering design?

It could help make the product more aesthetic.

What? You got an aeronautics test coming up? ;-)

I don't know, but you've given me something to research. I'm a big fan of Fibonacci.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but Anastasia Romanov was born on June 18th, 1901.

And she died just a few years later! 07/17/18 is almost awesome. It was a Wednesday, which happens to come before Thursday, which is what today is (in my time zone), and Arthur Dent never got the hang of Thursdays. If you add the numbers together, you get the answer! AMAZING.

I'm impressed you pulled 618 out of thin air. Pretty cool.

Andy wins for the best answer, btw.

Very Good! Then you may be familiar with the special features of the Great Pyramid? And, the significance of 1.618 in Italian architecture, as well as the perspective presented in the art of some of the great artists through the ages?

I'm impressed with the fact that we have some Brainiacs on F.I. It seems some are imbibing knowledge as well as occasional potable spirits.

Simple, it's the ratio of what I am making to what I should be making...

More precisely, she was born on 1-6-18.

C'mon, how about a little suspension of disbelief. Sheesh, you probably don't believe the government is covering up what happened at Roswell, or that the CIA blew up the WTC.

So you're saying you should be making about 62% of what you are making?
