Guys, think outside of the box. They had rubber yardsticks in those days.
Stretch it to measure bowl diameter, and relax it to measure circumference..
Besides which Microsoft Excel will round pi down to 3 when number of digits of
the decimal point are set to zero.

Cliff's Homework for this year: Cliff's bowl has a 10 unit/inch
outside diameter and a 30 unit/inch outer circumference and a 5
unit/inch depth. The diameters have a .005 inch tolerance. And no
Virginia PI does not equal 3.00000. So how does Cliff make this bowl?
