Ratio of the radius of the circle to the side length of the square (height of a man) is given by the golden ratio (1+√5)/2. Circle rises higher than the square, which allows the man’s navel to be in the center of the circle and his genitals to be in the center of the square.

Ratio of the radius of the circle to the side length of the square (height of a man) is closer to the π²/6 and not to the golden ratio (1+√5)/2. If you use the golden ratio is the circle larger. And the center of the circle is not directly on the navel, it's a little bit higher.

A “self portrait of da Vinci”. Saying it twice doesn’t make it true.

Gee, I never realized Leonardo had such a well developed physique. He must spend hours in the gym every week.
