Challenge #493: The Golden Rectangle Ratio

Desmond
9 - Comet

I am about 95% positive you are referring to a macro that you are probably seeing in a lot of the solutions posted that is called Expect Equal.  It is part of the Crew macro package and takes any two datasets and tells you if they are an exact match.  If any of the data does not match you will get an error message with some limited info that will help you identify the differences.  It is useful for lots of things when you are trying to match data but for the purpose of the weekly challenges you can plug in your solution and the solution provided in the challenge to make sure you got the exact answer.  Most the time it is helpful in this scenario but some of the provided solutions are sorted in random orders that are difficult to duplicate or are incorrect so it is not always possible to use the macro to get to chack a correct answer.

This one was all math, so I really enjoyed it!

I was expecting a curveball of some of the widths being more than the lengths, but this was not the case which made the solution simpler.

 

I also had some fun with it and referenced KPOP Demon Hunters in one of my columns because of the "golden" ratio
