Ratio of the Dimentions of TMA 01 in 2001: A Space Odyssey

[Retro2001]

I've forgotten and don't have a copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey handy, what was the ratio of the dimentions of TMA 01 (the monolith) in the book? I remember it being a combmination of primes, but I'm not sure...

Thanks,
will

1 : 4 : 9

and how foolish we were to think it stopped there...

yep yep, 2001 is definitely a very cool book/movie.

1 by 4 by 9.

Ah, nice, been a while since I've read the book, so I didn't get the quote exactly right.
