Midsphere radius of regular icosahedron with unit edges.
Also half of the golden ratio (A001622). - Stanislav Sykora, Jan 30 2014
Andris Ambainis (see Aaronson link) observes that combining the results of Barak-Hardt-Haviv-Rao with Dinur-Steurer yields the maximal probability of winning n parallel repetitions of a classical CHSH game (see A201488) asymptotic to this constant to the power of n, an improvement on the naive probability of (3/4)^n. (All the random bits are received upfront but the players cannot communicate or share an entangled state.) - Charles R Greathouse IV, May 15 2014
This is the height h of the isosceles triangle in a regular pentagon, in length units of the circumscribing radius, formed by a side as base and two adjacent radii. h = sin(3*Pi/10) = cos(Pi/5) (radius 1 unit). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 08 2018

FORMULA

Equals (1+sqrt(5))/4 = cos(Pi/5) = sin(3*Pi/10). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 18 2006
Equals 2F1(4/5,1/5;1/2;3/4) / 2 = A019827 + 1/2. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 27 2008
Equals A001622 / 2. - Stanislav Sykora, Jan 30 2014
phi / 2 = (i^(2/5) + i^(-2/5)) / 2 = i^(2/5) - (sin(Pi/5))*i = i^(-2/5) + (sin(Pi/5))*i = i^(2/5) - (cos(3*Pi/10))*i = i^(-2/5) + (cos(3*Pi/10))*i. - Jaroslav Krizek, Feb 03 2014
