    Dividing 30 cubits by 10 cubits is not math, it's just computation:

          Here in Iraq, in addition to battling against the al Qaeda insurgency, we're battling against time. So in order to save time puttering with all those decimals, in all of our calculations we've rounded Pi down to the nearest whole number, which is 3. You'd be amazed at how much time knocking just a few decimal places saves us in our time spent planning roads, bridges, transportation systems, oil pipelines, and whatnot.

            To answer your questions in order: no, I do not recall ever stating such, and pi can be defined as either the sixteenth letter in the Greek alphabet, corresponding with the English letter p, or a transcendental number which is equal to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter, having a decimal form beginning 3.14159265..., and commonly approximated to .

              No I'm not a "Communiss" since that's not even a word. I'm not a Communist either, which is what you were probably trying to spell. And so what if I travel around? Seeing the world is half the fun of life. Don't your missionaries travel around?

                        Well it looks like we are finally getting somewhere with you. You finally admit, after wasting everyone's time with inches, feet, and cubits, that Pi is a ratio (and, as such, dimensionless). It's amazing considering that the Pastors here tried to point this out to you numerous times.

                        What you still fail to grasp and acknowledge is Dr. Ville's original work and contribution in the area of scientific notation. The Indiana Legislature tried to solve this problem in 1897 and failed.

                            It is often the mark of a genius (like Dr. Ville) that points out the obvious that no one else can see. In your case we will have to take this one step at a time.

                            What is 3.579545 accurate to two decimal places?

                              3.57. Please do not tell me that you intend to round the number or something to a similar extent. I do not believe that I could take such a blow.

                                I regret to inform you that your answer is wrong.

                                I have always been amazed at how someone could fail an "open book" test. But then again there is a parable to be learned here. The Lord has given us our life and that is an open book test as well, only in this case the book is the Bible (KJV1611). We can read it and heed its wisdom, or ignore it at our peril.

                                I am also amazed at how youngsters show up here rejecting the Bible (KJV1611) on the basis of their so-called "science", when they do not even understand it. Religion has been banned from the sickular schools, but so is a basic education it seems. This places an additional burden here at Landover as it seems we have to teach spelling, grammar, history, science, and mathematics along with the Holy Word of Jesus.

                                It's time for you to tithe son, hit that Pay-Pal button now to continue your education and the salvation of your soul.
