How much is 5 * 6? How much is 6 * 4? So, that math is easy. That's it. That's the hardest part so far. That's it. This mizbeach from top to bottom is 10 amos. From the bottom to over here, we're going to do amos that are five tfachim. So, it's six amah * five tfachim is how much? 30. But, from the soivev to the top, we're going to do an amah which is six. And there's four amos over here. So, 4 * 6 is 24. How many tfachim do I have total? 54. Now, 54 / 2 is how much? Wow, not bad. This is a tough one. This red line boisa is halfway on the mizbeach.

Everybody knew this cuz I would have to do a whole thing. 50 / 2 is 25. 4 / 2 is 2. So, 25 + 2 = 27. You guys like spit it out like that. It's unbelievable. So, I have a question for you. I'm a cohen and I'm standing on the walkway and I have blood of a chatas in my hand. It has to go above a red line. How many tfachim could I bend over and put the blood? Three.

So, we made a something's off with our math. Is that understood? >> It's like IKEA instructions. Are you saying it's complicated? Yeah. The beginning was good. You had me in the beginning. We good. The numbers worked out. Now,
