You have to properly count the value of the Hebrew characters, but they didn’t get it correct. I may not be correct either, but if you find a Pharisee Rabbi, they usually can show you how to get the numbers right.

Their value for the circumference was not complete. They quit after finding the integers, but gave up on the fractional parts.

At that time the irrational numbers hadn’t been discovered.

The Pythagoreans had a brilliant member who proved that the square root of 2 was irrational.

They killed him as a blasphemer.
