* AbstractScale: ''Equator Cold'' has a boxing match which is graded on a ten-point scale for elements such as footwork and violence. During the match the violence gets so high that the ''[[BrokeTheRatingScale scale-exceeding scale]]'' is applied! The healthiness of people is also graded on a ten-point scale, with a full ten representing some kind of abstract perfection of both mind and body and a harmonious connection between the two.
