Apart from the fact that FFT is way more complex than needed for a guitar tuner, I also believe it’s not even really possible to use a Fourier Transform for a useful guitar tuner. Because you won’t achieve good enough frequency resolution.

In German, we have almost the same expression, "ein Schuss vor den Bug." Literally, it translates to "a shot in front of the bow." I never thought about where it came from. Interesting to learn. The expression has someho

If the numbers 54 and 36 is correct, then one could be inclined to a simplified calculation and say that 1.5% of popular vote (54/36) equals 1.0% of seats. In that case, 75% of popular vote would equal 50% of seats. Or in other words:

Except everything isn't more expensive. For example rent. Also, everyone can go see a doctor and pay nothing (not just the top quintile). All of this is if course simplified, but just to add another pair of cents.
