but what is the number (1.618...)? It seems like it should be familiar, but it ain't!

That number is the golden number, phi. It, like pi, is an irrational number. Here is some info on the golden number / ratio.

A few people have started using the notation 2c, at the end of their post. It just refers to "that my 2 cents".

We use quite a few scientific acronymns here. So it is usually assumed that people know what 'c' is (speed of light). Or what a ly is (light year).
