(Note that the interval of ~[[25/18]] between ~6/5 and ~5/3 tempers to ~[[10/7]], and the interval of ~[[25/21]] between ~7/5 and ~5/3 tempers to ~[[12/7]].)

In 5-limit [[meantone]], a stack of three minor thirds tempers to ~[[128/75]], leaving a ~[[75/64]] augmented second to close the octave. The resulting chord has an [[intervallic odd limit]] of 75:
