Don't write sqare roots in the denominator (hope that's the correct
word) ! *g*

it is

                   ___                  ___            ___
        2  ( 1 - \| 5  )       2   (1-\| 5 )         \| 5  - 1 
_________________________ _ ___________________ _ ____________________
        ___         ___   -                     - 
 (1 + \| 5 ) (1 - \| 5 )      1 - 5                   2

At school we wrote 
        ___
      \| 5  +1  
  x = --------- 
          2     

so that it looks similar to the one above.

those numbers are used a lot in architecture and art as they are seen
as harmonious.
