5. It also has a pretty good 17th harmonic and tempers out the comma 459:448, thus three fifths gives a 17:14 and four gives a 21:17; "mushtone". Mushtone is high in badness, but 26edo does it pretty well (and [[33edo]] even better). Because 26edo also tempers out 85:84, the septendecimal major and minor thirds are equivalent to their pental counterparts, making mushtone the same as flattone.
