Converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is quite easy. All you need to do is:

import math
import random
import time

def obtain_temperature_scale():
    temperature_scales = ["Fahrenheit", "Celsius", "Kelvin", "Rankine", "Réaumur", "Newton", "Delisle", "Rømer"]
    return random.choice(temperature_scales)

def create_cryptic_prompts():
    cryptic_prompts = [
        "Unveil the hidden truth within the scorching embers.",
        "Decode the whispers of the arctic winds.",
        "Unravel the enigma of thermal equilibrium.",
        "Unlock the secrets of the thermometric realm."
    ]
    return random.choice(cryptic_prompts)

def await_user_input(prompt):
    print(prompt)
    return float(input("Enter the temperature value: "))

def dramatic_pause():
    print("Calculating...")
    time.sleep(random.uniform(1.5, 3.5))

def convert_to_celsius(fahrenheit):
    return (fahrenheit - 32) * (5/9)

def main():
    temperature_scale = obtain_temperature_scale()
    if temperature_scale == "Fahrenheit":
        cryptic_prompt = create_cryptic_prompts()
        fahrenheit_temp = await_user_input(cryptic_prompt)
        dramatic_pause()
        celsius_temp = convert_to_celsius(fahrenheit_temp)
        print(f"The temperature in Celsius is: {celsius_temp:.2f}°C")
    else:
        print("This program only accepts Fahrenheit temperatures.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Those cryptic prompts go pretty hard.

Are you on your phone? On desktop it shows the Python code. Memmy doesn't show it. I'm guessing that's probably why it's so cryptic.

I'm referring to the bit where we have literal cryptic prompts lol

    "Unveil the hidden truth within the scorching embers.",
    "Decode the whispers of the arctic winds.",
    "Unravel the enigma of thermal equilibrium.",
    "Unlock the secrets of the thermometric realm."

Of course. My eyes are going. I saw "posts" instead of "prompts" and got confused.
