Finally, taking the midpoints of the successively larger normalized gaps between the zeros of Z leads to a list of ''zeta gap edos''. These are {{EDOs|2, 3, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 46, 53, 72, 270, 311, 954, 1178, 1308, 1395, 1578, 3395, 4190,}} ... Since the density of the zeros increases logarithmically, the normalization is to divide through by the log of the midpoint. These edos are listed in the OEIS as {{OEIS|A117537}}. The zeta gap edos seem to weight higher primes more heavily and have the advantage of being easy to compute from a table of zeros on the critical line.

We may define the ''strict zeta edos'' to be the edos that are in all four of the zeta edo lists. The list of strict zeta edos begins {{EDOs|2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 53, 270, 1395, 1578}}... .
