I asked for the reference and I was shown a picture of a book.

...and a promise that when I get home and have the book in front of me, I would give you more details. It would have been honest to acknowledge that.

...and, of course, long before you, I said it was possible the pi=3 movement was intended as dry humor. It would have been honest to acknowledge that too.

I was merely responding to those who claim that my request for further documentation was specious or that I should not question your "citation".

I am not at all concerned that you will provide the specific source. I will be extremely surprised if the advocacy group is serious. If they are serious, then I suspect that they are seriously ill.

Being a scientist and all perhaps you could answer this question:

If a cubit is 18 inches and a span is 9 inches and a hand is 4 1/2 inches and you built a metal bowl with an outside diameter of 10 cubits and a thickness of one "hand", and you measured the inside circumference of the bowl, how many cubits would it be?
