The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
The satanic comma is the difference between 666 perfect fifths (octave-reduced) and a single perfect fifth. Equivalently, it's the difference between 665 perfect fifths (octave-reduced) and the unison -- but that wouldn't be as devilishly intriguing. This difference is inaudible, at only<span class="st"> 0.076</span> cents. The monzo is |-1054 665>. It is tempered out in 665 EDO and its multiples (1330 EDO, etc.).
