I thought someone would be using %`+ after that long discussion we just had:
%/({:,+/)^:(3*4*5)[1 2 NB. Ben Gorte
0.618034
$":%/({:,+/)^:(3*4*5)[1 2
8
%/({:,+/)^:(3*5)1 NB. Ric Sherlock
0.618034
$":%/({:,+/)^:(3*5)1
8
%(+%)/15$1 NB. Rob Hodgkinson.
0.618034
$":%(+%)/15$1
8
NB. I don't tiink 15 and 23 are quite
NB. in the spirit of the mystery.
%/((+/ .*)~^:4)(1 2,:2 3)
0.618034 0.618034
%/((+/ .*)~^:4)(1 2,:2 3)NB. David Lambert
0.618034 0.618034
NB. Too much invormation
2%1+%:5 NB. Peter B. Kessler
0.618034
$":2%1+%5
7
%`+/(5*6)#1 NB. Linda Alvord
0.618034
$":%`+/(5*6)#1
8

NB. without looking at the other solutions...
NB. 25 characters---I made it twice!
%/((+/ .*)~^:4)(1 2,:2 3)
0.618034 0.618034
NB. I can squeeze that to 19 characters
%/+/ .*~^:8>:2[\i.3
