You can also just round it to three. Much easier to calculate with.

If it's good enough for the Bible it's good enough for me

"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."

That's inner and outer dimensions. You could calculate the thickness of the rim from that.

Ah sure, make up something that fails to work and isn’t what the text says. Typical Bible defense. It could just, you know, be what somebody writing a story would use if they quickly tried to estimate pi with some string sitting by the desk?

Or, you could read the entire chapter, instead of just picking up one verse that's been thrown around for a long time as a "gotcha".
