If numbers can be illegal, so can melodies. This tune is based on the Numberphile "illegal" number featured in their video: youtu.be/wo19Y4tw0l8

The number itself is 94699040255592155765623877 and has been mapped onto the C major scale. I added some simple chords (D minor, G major, C major and F major) to hold the piece together. I think it's rather pleasant... pity it's illegal to play it ;-)
