Original Wikitext content:
The //59 equal division// divides the octave into 59 equal steps of 20.339 cents each. Its best fifth is very (9.9 cents) sharp, and yet its major third is nearly pure. It is a good [[Porcupine family]] porcupine tuning, giving in fact the [[optimal patent val]] for 11-limit porcupine. This patent val tempers out 250/243 in the 5-limit, 64/63 and 16875/16807 in the 7-limit, and 55/54, 100/99 and 176/175 in the 11-limit. Using the flat fifth instead of the sharp one gives the apparently rather uninteresting 12&35 temperament.
