Note in an octave

[Clark]

Hey Jim,

If the semitone is defined as 2^(1/12), so that there are 12 equal-sized
semi-tones - half-tones - to an octave, and a whole tone is can be defined as
2^(2/12) or 2 semitones, there are 6 whole tones in an octave.

However, shouldn't the the question have read "how many equal-tempered whole
tones are there in an octave?" Maybe Jeopardy would ask for this question.
