Golden Mean ratio and Donald Duck!

[Sam]

This is a clip from the 1959 Disney cartoon DONALD DUCK IN MATHMAGIC LAND

For those fascinated with the golden mean, this is an excellent video!

Same video Mitch. You can find the entire video on YouTube. This is just a clip of the golden mean part. You'll see the billiards in the other video

Thanks Sam. Nice revisiting this clip.

thanks, Sam. i'll look that up, tho it's probably too late to save my pool hustling career. (i actually used to be pretty respectable with a cue- loved to play snooker, but it's been years and i completely embarrassed myself at a friend's house awhile back...)

Most excellent! Thanks Sam.

I'll have to check out the billiards portion. It sounds interesting.
