Thanks for posting that fun gnugget! Using that as inspiration, here is a way to calculate Phi, or the Golden Ratio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio), to an arbitrary number of decimal places. The example below calculates to 10 decimal places. echo "scale=10;(1 + sqrt(5))/2" | bc -l Slack On! ~~Fish~~ Very cool! Thanks for posting that fun gnugget!
