Time spent in HPSP may count towards the 20 years required for a reserve retirement if the member participates in the selected reserve after separating from active duty, and is credited back on a one-for-one selected reserve/HPSP year basis.

"Hey Ya!" in 22/4 just because it has a 2/4 bar? You must be joking! The one with 17/24 should also be taken off as it makes as much sense as a time signature of 43.6/Toast. The essence of a time signature is that it marks the meter (the fundamental accents), not the starts of phrases. By the way, I added The Mars Volta one at the end.
The article says that only for compound time signatures, like 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Notice that in these cases the upper number is divisible by 3.
