I need help with a tricky puzzle.

Let's say we have a straight line:   A---------------------D


The line has two points, B and C. Each of the two points split the line formed by outer points in two with respect to golden section:
A--------B--------C---------D

So AD is to AC as AC is to CD. And AD is to BD as BD is to AB.

The distance between B and C is 8314 cm. How long is the whole line AD?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Katti
