I've come across this miracle before and my biggest problem with it is that, to get the golden ratio, you have to ignore half the numbers in the answer. 7906/4885=1.61842375 and the golden ratio is 1.61803398875 (and it continues into infinity so 1.618 isn't the golden ratio anyway). The standard reply to this, from the apologist, is that they're simply rounding the numbers off (because miracles need a helping hand?) but the simple fact is that it's contrived and dishonest bullshit and there is nothing miraculous about it.
