'''250/243''', known as the '''porcupine ~~[[Comma|~~comma]]''' or maximal diesis, is ~~an interval of size 49.166~~ [[~~cent|cents~~]]. It is the amount by which two [[10/9|minor whole tones]] exceed a minor third, that is, (10/9)^2/(6/5). Tempering it out leads to [[5-limit|5-~~limit~~]] [[~~Porcupine_family|porcupine~~ temperament]].

'''250/243''' is known as the '''porcupine comma''' or the '''maximal diesis'''. Measuring about 49{{cent}}, it is a [[medium comma]]. It is the amount by which two [[10/9|minor whole tones]] exceed a minor third, that is, (10/9)2/(6/5). It is also the difference between [[25/24]] and [[81/80]], the two smallest [[5-limit]] [[superparticular]] ratios, and between three syntonic commas and the [[2187/2048|Pythagorean apotome]], putting it on the [[Syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum]].

== Temperaments ==

Tempering it out leads to the [[5-limit]] [[porcupine]] temperament. See [[porcupine family]] for the family of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.

== Approximation ==

250/243 is very close to one step of [[24edo]], which is the quarter tone that is exactly the half of [[12edo]] semitone. Therefore, if 250/243 is not tempered and instead is treated as an identity where it is equated with 1/24th of the octave, it serves as the period in the [[chromium]] temperament. (However, note that 24edo itself maps 250/243 inconsistently, and so chromium temperament starts at [[72edo]].) Thus in the framework of this temperament and the tuning systems associated with it, [[Eliora]] proposes the name ''chromium quartertone''.
