Fact, maybe: Human beauty has nothing to do with subjective judgment, and everything to do with some obscure mathematical equation. Fact, definitely: There is an iPhone app based on this theory.
Designed by a handsome giant baby named Ed Nash, above, Fit or Fugly (Fit: Brit., informal: SEXXXY) judges your attractiveness based on the proportions of your face, processed from a photo and a little user input — to peg exactly where your nose, ears, eyes and mouth are. Does it work? As a tool for determining objective beauty, possibly. As a tool for planting tiny, fertile seeds of doubt about your attractiveness in your subconscious (and others’!), yeah, sure.

Well, phi is one of those universal ratios, so it is found in facial proportions. However, it’s more likely to indicate whether or not your bone structure is good, rather than if those yellow teeth and fuchsia eyeliner suit your green hair.
