| Aug 21, 2019 at 17:49 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I don't see why the occurrence of $\sqrt{5}$ in 1) is supposed to be significant here. You are looking at the BM distance between two shapes of low complexity, so one is always going to find some small coincidences. Moreover, I don't understand why you believe that the presence of $\sqrt{5}$ causes things to be easier, rather than being a consequence of working with simple or small cases. | |

Mathjax in titles, especially if misused it for emphasis, is considered undesirable.
