We considered using another log scale, but log5 didn’t quite give us the granularity we wanted, and smaller log scales produced weird numbers that just didn’t really correspond to the effect we wanted. So we just picked some numbers that felt right.
Note that these numbers approximately follow a log2 curve.

I think we literally started with log2.6 or something, and then fudged the numbers until they looked pleasant.
