NOTICE TO THE ADMIN: Please create a Riddle Section on this forum for future posts. Thanks. That's way too easy. The translation formula is this: C(elcius) = (F(ahrenheit) - 32) * 5 / 9 or C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9 Since the condition is C = F, then it's: F = (F - 32) * 5 / 9 Solving for F, we get: 9F = 5F - 160 9F - 5F = - 160 4F = -160 F = -40 Again, since C = F, C = -40 also. If you plug in this number in the original formula, you can verify its validity. :) |
