Sorry, it doesn't work V.

The bible *implies* the number 3, it doesn't explicitly state it like it does 10 and 30, so you can't claim that 3 has been rounded, only 10 or 30. And, 10 and 30 are still incorrect with rounding.

I said that nothing would be perfect if a man made it bc YOU were trying to say that this was an imperfect measurment.

You were saying that the wonky circle described was the best a man could do in those days.

That was the first thing you claimed and the point you stuck to until very recently - you were asking me to paint my yard with the best circle I could to try to prove that although Hiram's circle wasn't perfect, it was nonetheless impressive.

ONLY now you're talking about how the width of the brim could come into it and how that could render a circle that's pretty close to perfect.

Which is absolutely fine - just admit that you didn't initially have the correct interpretation.

A simple Google search shows no flip flopping....rather you grasping at straws and jumping to conclusions before you studied the end of the matter.

You are the mathematician....explain to these good people how the HANDBREATH you forgot to mention was the distance between the inner and outer aND how it rectifie's the pi.

I don't think the people are interested in the details lol. But yes, it's true - if you take 10 cubits as the inside diameter, 30 cubits as the outside circumference, and allow for a certain width of the brim, you can get the circumference to diameter ratio to equal 3.14ish.

Again though, it's weird to give one inside dimension and one outside dimension.

The oval shape explanation is more viable IMO. I think it's out of place that the shape wouldn't be better described if that was the case, but it seems less forced than measuring one inside dimension and one outside dimension.

As for flip flopping no. I never flip flop. I just want to see if you know any thing. I wanted to try to reason with you to determine y I ur agenda.

Clearly I know some things. Math for example.

I told you my "agenda" many posts ago.

And I believe you HAVE flip-flopped. Or at least let's say you've changed tact. You were sure you had the right explanation/interpretation in your very first post. Now your explanation/interpretation is different.

You have used science/reason to help you interpret the bible. :)
