I made a chart of rating distributions for 30 Rock episodes, based on IMDB rating data. It turns out that season three has the highest rated episodes on average (highest: Kidney Now!; Generalissimo; Apollo, Apollo; Reunion; Believe in the Stars; The Funcooker), but season five has the most consistently good episodes (highest: Live Show; Episode 100: Part 2; Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning; Double-Edged Sword; TGS Hates Women; Mrs. Donaghy).

I do feel like some of the episode ratings are outside of my personal ordering, though. Larry King, Reaganing, Into the Cravasse, Chain Reaction of Mental Anguish, and most especially MILF Island all got a little shafted, IMO.

(The "distributions" are just gaussians with means and standard deviations computed from this link).

Picard: [most pretentious Shakespearean voice] For inside each of us, there is a Mew… [somber dramatic pause; gravelly dramatic voice] and a Mewtwo.

We then have over the real numbers:

In dimension 0 or 1, there is one binary cross product: x×y≔0. In dimension 3, there are two binary cross products, one for each orientation, matching the classical cross product. In dimension 7, there are uncountably many binary cross products. Even fixing a basis and requiring compatibility with this, there are still hundreds of cross products. In any other finite dimension, there are no binary cross products at all.
