    I'm confused (doesn't take a lot!!, especially as I'm tired!) - I solved the puzzle, and put in 5439 as the answer, but it said I was wrong. I put in 1 (having googled the golden ratio as 1.61803399 and the golden ratio squared as 2.61803399, and doing the subtraction) and it said correct and I didn't get another question.

    One footcandle is approximately equal to ten (10) lux,

    1 lux, = 0.0929, foot-candles

    so 665 Footcandles would be 665 x 9.29 = 6177.85 so it should be 6178.

    Getting myself confused here..... Too much Red Wine

    665 divided by 0.0929 = 7158.2347 not sure if that helps
