Let A={1a1<a2<}A=\{1\leq a_1< a_2<\cdots\} be a set of integers such that A\BA\backslash B is complete for any finite subset BB and not complete for any infinite subset BB. If an+1/an1+ϵa_{n+1}/a_n \geq 1+\epsilon for all nn, must limnan+1/an=(1+5)/2\lim_n a_{n+1}/a_n=(1+\sqrt{5})/2? Under the reading where the ratio limit is assumed to exist, a Lean-verified argument forces the limit to be the golden ratio; a separate construction disproves the literal statement where convergence is not assumed.
