Bob, lets keep it simple.. 10 units OD and 30 units OD Circumference..
no tricks.. and PI does not equal 3.0

Mike:

Well, since pottery in ancient times wasn't turned on a lathe I suppose
their bowls were not perfect circles but more elliptical. So measuring
across the short axis could get you your 10 cubits while measuring the
total circumference which includes more material of the long axis might
get you to pi.
