Please, help with a science lecture

Good morning!

Could you help me, please? I'm Yura Perov, russian research worker. Now, it's writing a sceince lecture about the Golden ratio and it will be fine, if you can help me. If you're right, please, go to
http://alfa.siberianet.ru/goldenratio/
and http://alfa.siberianet.ru/goldenratio/drawer.php
There are two simple tests about the Golden ratio. They are not difficult, but you will help me very much, if you can.
Thanks before.

Alfucio's questionaire, is interesting, and the English is reasonably good; only question 6 had me puzzling over it's ambiguity. It seems to be a questionaire on how human athestics correlate to the golden ratio. I rather suspect that the results will show that humans find things more athetically pleasing the more the ratio between the parts approach 1.618...

Yeah, but that's only because you are almost at 500 posts

Actually, as I remember, statistically people will choose the one with the golden ratio... and post count doesnt seem to increment in this forum :p

Lounge posts do not contribute to post count. From the viewpoint of zooming graphics up or down to the next paper size, I'm all for the ratio 1.414:1.

a_thing, apparently he's also a programmer. There's no need to question why anybody would post here unless it's completely off-topic (this is not) and it's obstructive.

Good work, Alfucio
