We're also tagging beanbags so you can, for example, get a list of the Science Fact beanbags so far: projectamaze.com/tag/science/

Keep the requests coming. I’ll get to it all eventually.

I can easily generate the hapax (as a separate list rather than a daily beanbag). Also planning to analyze the vocabulary by grade level.

One of the more fun things we uncovered in our research so far.

Project Amaze now remembers when you dismiss the warning box. Thanks for the suggestion @tolkienguide.com !

Unpacking this a bit: for half-open pipes, the first harmonic is thrice the fundamental frequency (a tritave), but for strings under tension, it's twice the fundamental (an octave). Drums/bells have more complex harmonics, so cultures using those instruments construct scales differently.

And we have lift-off! projectamaze.com Stay tuned for daily fact drops!
Roughly 24 (+ℓ) hours and we have as many followers here are there are chapters in the book. #ProjectHailMary
Off-the-cuff #ProjectHailMary thought: due to the structure of his vocal tract, should Rocky actually care about tritave equivalence instead of octave equivalence? We might be able to make conclusions about traditional Eridian musical instruments based on how his language encodes emotion....
We'll be launching in less than Iℓℓ hours!! Amaze! Amaze! #ProjectHailMary

Great stuff! I will definitely cite you in the material I ( @jtauber.com ) produce for the site and if it encourages you to say more, that gets a fist bump from me!
Since @projectamaze.com just started following me, perhaps I should publish more of my xenolinguistic thoughts about Project Hail Mary. Once it became clear Iwas not going to hear from the producers, I kinda just let it slide, but I still have the notes! So here's the bit I already put out in 2023:
