gollark: Er, sequences of musical notes.
gollark: There was also that copyright thing about musical notes recently.
gollark: At least 3 numbers, I'd say.
gollark: Which isn't really a big problem in practice, since the chance of running into sufficiently large numbers by accident is basically zero.
gollark: An interesting consequence of intellectual property and stuff is that since binary data (some of which is copyrighted) is isomorphic to very big numbers, some numbers can't be legally distributed (by everyone).
