Solution for x in the system {x = 1/y + 1/z, y = x + 1/z, z = y + 1/x}. The corresponding values of y and z are 5^(1/4) and (5^(1/4) + 5^(3/4))/2.
The smallest aspect ratio of a set of three rectangles which have the property that any two of them can be scaled, rotated, and joined at an edge to obtain a rectangle with the third aspect ratio. The other two aspect ratios are given in the comment above.
