+The '''Pythagorean major sixth''', '''27/16''', may be reached by stacking three perfect fifths ([[3/2]]) and reducing by one [[octave]]. Compared to the more typical [[5/3]] which is narrower by [[81/80]], this interval is more [[dissonant]], with a [[harmonic entropy]] level roughly on par with that of [[6/5]].
