(a+b)/a = a/b

0?

0 ?
Mind you I only go a "c" O level maths...

That's Golden that is...

[BrilloPad]

(a+b)/a = a/b

So ab + b**2 = a**2

a**2 -ab - b**2 = 0

Is there a prize for solving this? Saddest CU poster?

There's quite stiff competition around here.

P.S. If a/b = c/d then they both equal (a + c)/(b + d)

The Greeks had a word for it...

ακροσκαιμεσοσλογος

[TheOmegaMan]

The Golden ratio is (1+sqrt(5))/2 and satisfies that equation. However so does the Jabber conjugate of (1-sqrt(5))/2.

You are threaded and I claim my Nobel Prize.
