Are the musical ratios right here? 25/12 is not approximately 4/3... I struggled to wrap my head around that one

Otherwise, excellent!

I believe you've misread 2^(5/12) or perhaps your browser did not display it correctly? Anyway, 2 to the power of 5/12 equals 1.3348.. which is very close to 4/3 = 1.333..
In the comments he mentioned that an earlier version (which you read) removed the formatting, so it's supposed to be 2^(5/12), etc.
