The equation of state for five-dimensional hard hyperspheres arising as aweighted average of the Percus-Yevick compressibility (3/5) and virial (2/5)equations of state is considered. This Carnahan-Starling-like equation turnsout to be extremely accurate, despite the fact that both Percus-Yevickequations of state are rather poor.Comment: 3 pages (Revtex); submitted to J. Chem.
