At a 133degrees what esle could it be but Dry

Duh! Better clean your glasses or check the battery in your calculator, Tom. Mine says 51C = 123.8F


I just thought of something. Probably Tom doesn't know how to use a calculator even if he has one. ;-0
So, for Tom and other dummies it can be figured out on paper pretty easy.

F = 9/5C + 32.

9/5 x 51 = 91.8

91.8 + 32 = 123.8.

See, I learned *something* in school.

Cheers,
Ellen

How to google equations?

I didn't have to google that one. I've got it memorized. It's good to know it.
Most of the countries use centigrade. Fahrenheit is better because it makes more
sense and it has more degrees between freezing and boiling. So you just gotta
know the equation by heart so you can understand what foreigners are talking about.

Who cares what scurry foreigners are talking about

Katy,

Glad you responded. I didn't / wouldn't reply to a Sock puppet. You're
both right but it plain to see that you have never dealt with those kind
of temperature up real close in actual working condiitions. In reality
you have to do them in you head and often right now. 9/5 or 5/9+32
doesn't lend itself to rapid Calc.

If you take that 9/5 and convert it to 2 rather than 1and 4/5 then 51 is
a very quick conversion to a 100 or a 101+32.

A real sailor's way of converting radio weather reports internationally
to from C to F without putting a Mike down or leaving a Helm. 5 degrees
difference in 128 is a very small error I can live with and no
calculator or paper necessary.

It a trick sailor's and boiler room firemen have been using for years.

Try it. It is a good way to talk Temp with your Canadian friends,

And by the way, I can also do the formular conversion in my head but its
slower but not as slow as getting a calculator and setting up.

Thank you for giving me a chance to reply to "Nellen" about practical
sailor's solution. Neal never need to use things like that at Anchor.

I
Thom,. I know how to convert equations...and have also worked in bery
hit gumid conditions with no AC going...my retort to Neal was just that,
a retort...

Katy or anybodyin ASA,

Don't turn the Salker in. I believe that's what he wants me to do; Turn
in a sock-puppet. DON'T DO IT! Nellen will
probably be getting abuses, don't let him have his way

TIA
