Question

Answer 1

ahhh, the golden rectangle (from the "golden" proportion) has been thought to be visually perfect or most visually pleasing and stimulating. i think i once read that Mozart based some music on the golden ratio, either by length of sections of his composition or by ratios of notes to another. AH-HA! here it is:
