Why is the golden ratio so universal? It's crazy
a+b/a
>>8552362
>a+b/a
No, it's (a+b)/a=a/b
For origin ask your local Mason.

it's the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,...], so yeah, it's pretty common.

it isnt
EXPLAIN THIS MATH NOW I DONT UNDERSTAND

(a+b)/a=a/b
set p=(a/b)
p=1+b/a=1+1/p
p^2-p-1=0
p=(1/2)±sqrt(1/4+1)
p=(1±sqrt(5))/2
p=1.61803, -0.61803

want the pyramid too?
