Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 HOW IS 'PHI' NOT A NICKNAME FOR '161803398874989'?!Because anyone outside of architecture and maybe graphic design is 96.9% likely to have no idea what the golden ratio or phi is. Even though I now know, it still isn't what pops into my head when I see all those numbers.

Artinum Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've heard of phi, but then I'm from a mathematical background. I can't remember the number itself, though.

Also mechanical engineering rocks (though I have considered becoming a math or physics teacher down the line). I recognized the 1.618 as the golden ratio but didn't know it by Phi.

aj_rock Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 The three laws of Engineering (as taught by the main design engineer behind the CN Tower)1: You can't push on a rope2: F = ma (we were first year cut some slack)3: To find the answer, you must KNOW the answer.FTW Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment
