Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Fahrenheit is Celsius - 32 then divided by 1.8 which is not an easy conversion luckily its also 9/5ths

The trick I found out was to subtract 32 from Fahrenheit then divide by 9 then multiply by 5.

The other trick, you subtract 10% from your Celsius times by 2, then add 32 but this one doesn't reverse well because you have to add 1/9th

Yeah, I mean I can do the math and get work it out if I care enough, but I doubt I'll ever grok Fahrenheit the way I do Celsius. It's like saying "oh it's 300K". You can do the math and work out what temperature that is, but until you bring it into the frame of reference you're familiar with it's just a number.
