\|	\|	YBC 7289 Introduction (A pdf version of this post appears at the end of this post.) We propose a one-shot calculation of ?2 using Babylonian mathematics. An Old-Babylonian (OB) tablet YBC 7289 (from around 1800 B.C. to 1600 B.C.) contains the approximation B = 1 + 24/60 + 51/602 + 10/603 = 30547/21600 for ?2....	5.1 parsecs away Travel
