This sentence makes my head hurt

Could also be because of the heat, though...

It's 104 where I am today.

Lets switch.

Dunno how hot it was where I live because A) I didn't know and B) I have a hard time translating Celsius to Fahrenheit. Probably somewhere around 20-25 degrees Celsius. Uh. That would be... in the range of 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit? I don't know...

In any case, it was warmer where you live, because I do know 100 degrees Fahrenheit is slightly hotter than the human body, so it's 38 degrees Celsius or something.

I wonder if there's anyone but me taken advantage of that singularity.

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit in your head you just double it and add 30. That will get you within a few degrees. So if it's 20C multiply it by 2 to get 40 and add 30 = 70F. That's approximate but it's pretty close.

I'd mentioned before that it was 104F before. That would make it about 37C.

Let's check.

Approximately 0 ?C would be 30 ?F, actually it's 32 ?F.
40 ?C would be 110 ?C, actually it's 104 ?C.
10 ?C would be 50 ?F, actually it's 50 ?F.

D-n. Your formula is so accurate.

That's why I used the word "approximate", it will get you close.

You didn't notice the last check; it was exact.

That's a very useful rule of thumb. Thanks!

Uh...

You don't happen to know something similar for kilometers and miles, do you?

I do. To convert km into miles, multiply by 5 and divide by 8.

I was actually thinking about something I could do quickly, in my head, but still thanks.

Sorry, sometimes I read to fast and I skip a word or two.

I think ( *5/8 ) is the only one. At least the only one I know of.

So you did know that formula.

I think I remember hearing about that formula, or one like it, several years ago. I didn't remember it until you posted it.

I've read about it in the English Wikipedia.

The formula "multiply by 8 and divide by 5" to convert miles to kilometers gives a conversion of 1.6. As it is only slightly lower than the actual conversion factors, it is a useful approximation.

I got the temp formula from my highschool science teacher.

My apologies, but I simply couldn't help referencing this.
