This represents the first time (since 1992) that the Olympic and Paralympic mascots were introduced at the same time. Miga and Quatchi are mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympics, while Sumi is the mascot for the 2010 Winter Paralympics. [15] Mukmuk is their designated "sidekick". They made a cameo appearance in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter ...
This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
Their works include the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics mascots Miga, Quatchi, Sumi and Mukmuk, and Octonauts, a series of books which were made into a CGI Animated TV series for the BBC channel CBeebies by Brown Bag Films (Which the current animation studio is Mainframe Studios) and Silvergate Media in 2010, subsequently broadcast internationally.

It seems to me that there are three categories: (A) all time signatures involved are common (e.g. 2/4 vs 3/4), and the inclusion of such works here is debatable; (B) only one is uncommon (e.g. 4/4 vs 24/16), and it is clear that these should go under their uncommon time signature; (C) more than one is uncommon (e.g. 11/8 vs 13/8), and it's not ...
With regards to which time signatures are unusual, the Time signature article already mentions a number of time signatures (3/4, 4/4, 6/8 et al.) as 'most common', leading to the implication that other time sigs are unusual. Moreover, a number of time signatures is explicitly mentioned as being unusual afterwards, again without sourcing.
