It's just a name, like the Forbidden Month or the Month of No Return, all the months have names like that in the Season of Terror.

Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.
The wikipedia article Polydactyly in stem-tetrapods has some explanations on how we ended up with 5 fingers and toes.
The gist of it is that tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrate animals) evolved from a fish similar to a lobe-finned fish that had 5 sets of bones in each of its fins that evolved into fingers and toes. Some tetrapods have subsequently lost digits but the basal state was five.
There's a book, Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin that's full of this kind of stuff. Highly recommend.

I'll try anything once
Clams and oysters aren't even arthropods, they're mollusks. Not bug like at all.

From the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency website
Hawaiʻi has the largest single integrated Outdoor Siren Warning System for Public Safety in the world. The all-hazard siren system can be used for a variety of both natural and human-caused events; including tsunamis, hurricanes, dam breaches, flooding, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, terrorist threats, hazardous material incidents, and more.
They test them here every month too. Shameful they didn't sound them when needed the most.

No idea about your algorithm problems but have you seen the Cutting Edge Engineering Australia channel? It's so good.

I was working at a rummage sale a few years ago, and I found this in one of the boxes that someone had donated. Paid five dollars for it.

Yeah probably true. I only thought to look it up because I knew active and passive sonar was a thing.

And how precise is the telekinesis?
Also what range. Could you remotely rear naked choke anyone in the world, or just apply a leg press of a couple hundred pounds to their brain stem or some shit? Punch world leaders in the nuts at will? Crash planes by fucking with flight controls? Deorbit satellites? Divert asteroids into earth's path?
Also, could you double jump or straight fly with it?
Manipulate roulette balls for quick money or meddle in sporting events you bet on (just telekinetically stuffing basketball shots and putt attempts and shit would be hilarious). Seems like telekinesis would be amazing.
