Original Wikitext content:
//51[[edo]]// divides the [[octave]] into 51 equal parts of 23.529 [[cent]]s each, which is about the size of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_comma|Pythagorean comma]]. It tempers out [[250_243|250/243]] in the [[5-limit]], [[225_224|225/224]] and [[2401_2400|2401/2400]] in the [[7-limit]], and [[55_54|55/54]] and [[100_99|100/99]] in the [[11-limit]]. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[Porcupine rank three family|sonic]], the rank three temperament tempering out 250/243, 55/54 and 100/99, and also for the rank four temperament tempering out 55/54. It provides an alternative tuning to [[22edo]] for [[Porcupine family|porcupine temperament]], with a nice fifth but a rather flat major third, and the optimal patent val for 7- and 11-limit [[Porcupine family#Porky|porky temperament]], which is sonic plus 225/224.
