(Google says) the golden ratio = 1.61803399. So it would be what you have +1.

I couldn't get the 8.35 lbs one: I guessed it might be the average birthweight of a human and kept trying various ways to word that. I suppose I'm just not familiar with the US gallon (UK gallon is 10 lbs of water). Nevertheless, this was a fine quiz: a lot of thought must have gone into making the answers versatile in what they would accept.
