LOL! Not mathematically! The Chinese, advanced in so many ways, rounded Pi to three back then. Obviously, this would screw up all the HFY formulas.
I think you forgot about the Suan Pan, just in case here's a couple of links to refresh your memory;)

The Chinese definately weren't simpletons. When we eat pasta, watch fireworks, play Chinese chess, enjoy Peking Opera, experience Wushu, read Sanguo or the Daodejing or the works of Qi Jigui (sp?), behold the Great Wall or the Forbidden City, or do any of a hundred different things we probably all take for granted everyday, we touch on the richness of 5000 years of Chinese culture and attainment.
Amen To That:D

Please look at your signature!
Grendel,
Maybe you should look at your own words when you post your signature with my name in it.
<snip>Obviously this thread is an attempt to take my comment out of context and miscontrue its nature. Not very advanced trolling, I'd say.
once again I'm asking you to remove my name and my words (taken out of context I might add) out of your signature. It serves no purpose other then to take a cheap shot at me.
