    e + pi

    That's between 5 and 7.

    That would depend both on how many significant figures you used, and which form of rounding you use; you can either use the standard "half and above" or you can use truncation. Also, 2/3 would still give you a value less than 1. So no, it's not factually incorrect, as there are multiple ways to reach a faulty conclusion that is based on interpretation.

    On the other hand, we are making this way too complicated. No one has even bothered to guess "6."
