Happy Pi Day

The Menorah in the Holy chamber has a strange association with the approximate value of Pi. With the 7 lamps and 22 almond blossoms you get the ratio 22/7 = 3.1428. This approximate value of Pi is only good to two decimal places compared to the real value: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286
What makes it curious is the fact the artwork of the Menorah usually shows the branches of the lamp in a half circle formation which is what Pi is all about, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
At my work today they gave out small Hostess fruit pies to everyone in honor of Pi Day.

quote from ILoveTTATT2 link: "---the circumference could be the inner circumference, telling us about the sea’s capacity. --"This too is an unlikely explanation, for it would again require a way to make the measuring line stick to the inner wall but it is possible, since the bible account even gives the wall thickness, for which to measure, you would need giant calipers, or would have had to measure the mold. . Proof, that the bible writer or "god" as a inspirer/proofreader was not trying to impress us with their math s-kills. -

It gets worse - The Septuagint (LXX) implies that Pi is 3.3, because it says that the circumference was 33 cubits.
TRY EXPLAINING THAT ONE! xD
