Corrected entry: When bobble head Einstein states the value of PI as 3.14159265, he says "exactly". Einstein would never have said anything like that, since PI is an irrational number that goes on without end. Furthermore, the best approximation for PI that the Egyptians had was 256/81 or about 3.16, so they certainly would not have set their code to 3.14159265.

Correction: The figures are approximations of the people they are based on, not duplicates. Teddy Roosevelt makes this clear in the first film when he says "Actually, I never did any of those things. Teddy Roosevelt did. I was manufactured in a mannequin factory in Poughkeepsie. I never shot a wild beast. I'm not even brave enough to tell that beautiful woman [Sacagawea] I love her. But you... you gotta finish the job this time. You can't quit. I'm made of wax, Larry. What are you made of?"

Correction: First, Egyptians didn't use 3.16 as pi - they had no concept of pi at all. Second, the Einstein bobblehead says "3.14159265, to be exact" referring to the combination needed to unlock Akmenrah's tablet, not pi itself, and the combination is an exact number.
