  I think if you want 10+ years with high assurance you probably want to burn the data to archival quality BD-R disks (not the dye based ones)

  The right spinning platter hard drives might have a decent chance to make it 10 years but there's a lot of possible failure modes and also a decent chance that when you try spinning it back up it gives nothing but read errors.

  For cases for "only" 10-30 years I might pick a pelican-like case inside a makeshift wooden coffin-like outer layer. For longer I'd probably use a metal box like an ammo box inside the plastic case and a stone outer layer instead of wood

  if you put them on in the right order a korok pops out and gives you a seed

  Yes!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I subtract a semitone (100 cents) from 1 Hz, what is its frequency in Hz after that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  12 semitones to .5hz, 24to .25hz, 36 to .125hz

  Cents are a measure of difference between two frequencies and can't be converted directly to hz on its own.

  An initial frequency in hz and an offset in cents can be used to calculate a second frequency in hz, such as in your initial question. Using the formula from wikipedia f1 * 2^(c/1200) = f2, we get 1hz * 2^(-100/1200) = .9439hz. Note that +1200 cents is double (2^1) and -1200 cents is half (2^-1) the original frequency
