The ratio of 81/20 is the distance between the 81st and 20th harmonic, which can be seen as an octave that is augmented by a syntonic comma (81/80). This interval spans the size of about 2421.5 cents. It is also the result of stacking 4 [[[6/5]]]'s and 3 5/4's. This suggests that an octave stretch of half a syntonic comma is a good way to optimise a diatonic scale for pure thirds.
