cake third
99/80, the undecimal submajor third, also known as the cake third, is 45/44 flat of the Pythagorean major third (81/64), and also 100/99 flat of the classical major third (5/4), while being 8019/8000 sharp of the grave major third (100/81). The alternate name, cake third, refers to the fact that tempering out 45/44, the cake comma, leads to a temperament that slices 99/80 exactly in half (into two 11/10's). It arises in just intonation as the sum of a 9/8 whole tone and an 11/10 submajor second. It is also 2080/2079 flat of 26/21.
Approximation
This interval is exactly 8/7 flat of the very accurate half-octave of 99/70, and so is accurately represented in any even edo with a good 7, such as 26edo.
