In certain circles, including some of the ones I travel in, there's great excitement about yesterday's date. We won't see its like again for another century.
What makes it so special? The date – 1/6/181 – lines up with the first four digits of the golden ratio, a mathematical constant that's roughly equal to 1.618 and is commonly denoted by the Greek letter phi, which looks a bit like the letter "p" but with an extra loop on the left-hand side of the vertical axis.
So let's celebrate Phi Day by considering some of the wonderful things the golden ratio has to offer.
