Good guess...but wrong. Hint: You didn't go far enough. Takes a little arithmetic to prove the answer.

 

Any given set of temperatures cel or far will be the same but the numbers will always be different.

 

google one thing but using children is cheatinghttp://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Cunning-Plan.gif

 

Yep, answer's in your link: -40 degrees

To convert -40 celsius to fahrenheit:

[-40 + (-32)] X 5/9 = -72 X 5/9 = -40F

 

Hold on thar....ah say...hold on thar a cotton pickin' minute ya varmints...

Don't I even get a point for nearly getting Pele's real name right back at #24??

Oops, that wasn't a question, was it.

Nevermind....
