The golden ratio, or phi, is a number that can work magic in our daily lives.
When rounded off to three decimal places, 1. 618, it can dtermine whether you look attractive or like a hideous monster. This ratio is determined by measuring one's body height from the foot to the navel, and then from the navel to the head. If the ratio between these two is about 1. 618, one is considered to be rather attractive. Unfortunately, that is not the case for me, as mine is about 1. 309... FAIL. Haha!
Anyway, this number is considered to be one of the most beautiful and perfect numbers in existence. A perfect example of this number in action is demonstrated in Leonardo da Vinci's the Virtruvian Man, an anatomically accurate diagram of the human body.
