Something wrong with this circuit.

Hey. it works.

timer!

No. Signetics made the mistake - the number they chose was 111 too low.

-0.8090169...... (assuming God works in degrees.)

Phil is more expert at things theological, but I'd expect the Creator to work in radians.

Which makes the Sine of the Beast -0.0176416.

My Casio puked when I asked for the answer radians.. But I expect there is some more esoteric unit.. cubits and tribits maybe? (trigbits) George H.

Michelangelo's portraits of God clearly show ten figers, so He must work in base-10.

My fx-82MS needed its mode button pressed twice before it would offer me th e choice.

Armies liked the mil and the grad, though various armies defined them diffe rently

work in base-10.

John Larkin's grasp of theology is roughly equivalent to his grasp of clima te science, but he has a point to the extent that 666 in octal is a differe nt number than 666 in decimal and different again from 666 in hexadecimal, not that the author of Revelations is likely to have had anything but the decimal number system in mind.

I would have contacted you, about performing a valuable function for my company in Australia, if you weren't such a total jerk.

That is a devil of a timer!

The Bible puts pi at 3 even which makes the sine of the beast 0.

1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

Joerg has just given you a free - and private - endorsement.

"I could not imagine having a better boss if I worked there."

I suspect that I've had one or two better bosses than Joerg has managed, so my imagination may be a little more ambitious. You do have an unfortunate tendency to post stuff that shows you up in a bad light, and this would see m to be one of those occasions, and this time you did it without any help f rom Jim Thompson.

You've trotted out that gibe N times in the past, and it's a crock.

A cubit is the distance from your fingertips to your elbow, which makes it about as precise a measurement unit as a pace. And just to be ridiculous and import the modern idea of significant digits into a 3,000 year old description: If you think of the circumference as 30.0000... of these imprecise cubits, the diameter would be 4.78 of them, i.e. 5 cubits when correctly rounded to one digit as quoted.

There are certainly some puzzlers in Scripture, but this is not one of them.

Well, humph! Take a bunch of men right out of church and line up their feet (straight line), "measure" the length and divide by the number of men, and you have the PRECISE (original) definition of a foot. Cubit, my foot!

A Qubit is the length of a dead and/or alive cat.
