I’m fascinated by the # 1.67 showing up as a ratio in nature! The number of peddles on a flower, the ratio of eye separation to the width of the mouth. The probability that a length = 2 the separation between lines and how often the length will fall on the line.
The spiral of a snail shell!
Probably coincidence yet makes you think a higher power could be behind it!
Also, does mean anything significant ?

1.67 feet is the distance one knot travels in one second, basically.
