COMMENTS
Let R denote a rectangle whose shape (i.e., length/width) is (1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(7+6*sqrt(2)))/2. R can be partitioned into squares and silver rectangles in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [r,1,r,1,r,1,r,1,...], where r is the silver ratio: 1+sqrt(2)=[2,2,2,2,2,...]. R can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [3,5,1,2,1,1,1,2,...] at A190178. For details, see A188635.
