60. The Bible also says that ᴨ equals 3, exactly

Not ᴨ ≈ 3.14159. ᴨ = 3.0000000

2 Chronicles 4 King James Version (KJV)

1: Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

2: Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

I think it's time to stop taking the Bible so seriously.
