Approximate Pi day is in July: 21/7.

1 Kings 7:23 describes a basin in Solomon's Temple as ten cubits across and a cord of thirty cubits encircles it. The word for 'cord' has two spellings with two numerical values: qvh (111) and qv (106). Now, 3 × 111/106 = 333/106 = 3.1415

Shouldn't that be 22/7?
