sqrt((3+sqrt(5))/10) = phi^2/5 = (5+sqrt(5))/10 = (3+sqrt(5))/10)+2/10 = 0.723606797... .
Equals one tenth of the limit of (G(n+2)+G(n+1)+G(n-1)+G(n-2))/G(n), where G(n) is any nonzero sequence satisfying the recurrence G(n+1) = G(n) + G(n-1) including A000032 and A000045, as n --> infinity. - Richard R. Forberg, Nov 17 2014
