[[31edo]] is unique as combining all aforementioned tempering strategies into one elegant [[11-limit]] meantone temperament; it also combines yet more extensions of meantone not discussed here, and it has a very accurate [[5/4]] and [[7/4]] and an even more accurate [[35/32]]. A tempering strategy not mentioned is splitting a flattened [[3/2]] into nine sharpened [[25/24]]'s, resulting in the 5-limit version of [[valentine]] so that 31edo is the unique tuning that combines them. Furthermore, splitting the meantone fifth into two and three in the ways described above leads to meantone + miracle, which interestingly, though a rank 2 temperament, only has 31edo as a [[patent val]] tuning.

Furthermore, splitting the meantone fifth into two and three in the ways described above leads to meantone + miracle without tempering 225/224, which interestingly, though a rank 2 temperament, only has 31edo as a [[patent val]] tuning (corresponding to also tempering 225/224).
