A152149 records more recent developments about side-golden and angle-golden triangles, both of which, like the golden rectangle, have generalizations that match continued fractions. There is a unique triangle which is both side-golden and angle-golden. Is there a comparable tetrahedron? - Clark Kimberling, Mar 31 2011
