    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?

      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.

        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.
        O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



        God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

          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?

              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.

                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. )

                      Nevertheless, we're on the cubit system in Freehold-- which I guess explains why the stairs to the courthouse are so uneven.

                        Aah, of course, good sir. How careless of me to bypass the possibility that you in Landover would use such a system as the cubit.
