Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

When you divide 30 cubits by 10 cubits, the length of measurement also gets dropped leaving you with a whole number of 3.

Additionally, we have no idea why you initially said feet.

A cubit is roughly equal to eighteen inches, or 1.5 feet. The cubit itself is not a standard unit of measurement (e.g. feet, inches, centimeters, kilometers, etc.) and therefore must be translated to such for any comprehensive distance calculations to hold any validity. I simply translated the numbers into inches, then feet for convenience.

(And forgive me if I am mistaken in this--I've been awake for the last 30 hours or so reading and am probably not thinking entirely clearly right now. )

Will this information help me become a better cook?
If not, I dont know if I ought to concern myself with this confuzzlement math stuff.

Approx. 3 feet, actually.

Are you a Joo lawyer, or a Demoncrat politician?

Just your friendly neighborhood cat lady (I would say "cat man," but it completely ruins the effect). I do not align myself with any political party whatsoever and certainly am not Jewish, though I do have a slight interest in law.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

My apologies if you misunderstood my meaning. I was trying to say that while yes, thirty cubits divided by ten cubits is three cubits, that is not a representative value of the equation's actual sum.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

So you're arguing that thirty divided by ten is two? You really should give up your unsaved ways and get right with Christ, we could use a mind like yours.

My apologies if you misunderstood my meaning. I was trying to say that while yes, thirty cubits divided by ten cubits is three cubits, that is not a representative value of the equation's actual sum. I say this because, as I have said before, a cubit itself is not a measurable or otherwise definable distance by either metric or imperial standards; the components that compose it are and therefore are to be equated rather than the idea of a "cubit" as a whole.

And you could use a mind like mine? Is that a compliment I'm seeing, brother?

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

No, I argue that it is two cubits, or the sum of three feet as a "cubit" itself is not a defined measure on the imperial or metric scale and must be converted to such.

You are a moron who is destined to burn in eternal hellfire. Do you agree that thirty cubits divided by ten cubits is three cubits?

2. Cubits have very little correlation with the value of Pi unless you can prove otherwise, so no.

Units of measurement have no correlation to the value of a ratio? You went to public school, didn't you? Or did you not go at all? You have a lot to learn my friend! Perhaps you need to enroll in our distance learning program here at the University?

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

1. I never claimed that three cubits equaled three feet. Two will suffice for such a measure. Rather, I stated that the sum of thirty cubits divided by ten cubits is the rough equivalent of three feet.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

18*30=540/180=3

18*30=540/12=45
18*10=180/12=15
45/15=3

Heh? What's this now? Some sort of inverse ratio of the $avED vs. the un$avED or just what is it? It looks downRight Satanic!

BRING BACK THAT NICE DR. DeVILLE!!!!!

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Are you a spastic? If a cubit is 18 inches, how can three cubits be three feet? And do you now agree that, whether you measure it in cubits or feet, pi is definitely three?

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Approx. 3 feet, actually. A cubit being an ancient form of measure using the general length of the forearm and, in common practice, amounting to around eighteen inches; literally, the part of the arm from the elbow downward.

Why don't you try working it out for yourself? What's thirty cubits divided by ten cubits?

Of course, differing assigned measures have been given to the cubit, ranging in value from 18 to 36 inches, depending on culture and application.

And actually I have worked out the value of Pi to the ten millionth decimal place before.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

If you're so worried about your results being shunned, then why not post the algorithm that you used to extrapolate these results?

Why don't you try working it out for yourself? What's thirty cubits divided by ten cubits?
