Taarkin Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I certainly hope Nine is more loyal with his women than he is with his avatars. On second thought, I don't. More for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, wait, wait - I posted those beautiful conversion formulas just for you, little guildenstern, and you didn't use them!? I feel so unloved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guildenstern Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Well the truth is (*ashamed*) they looked a little froody to me and I thought you were just being facesious... it was the whole (9/5) / (5/9) thing that threw me! I didn't see those fractions as having any place in those formulas! And I still don't!! I'm sorry O_O Except now I see that that probably means "divided by" and so I feel even more dork-assier. Ah well. me not smrt to nokw the convershuns. But now I know for next time. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 *SNIFF* Well, okay... But they are for real. It does make sense because there should be a scaling factor (the fraction) and an offset (the 32). Try it with what you know - boiling and freezing. Boiling point in F is 212 and in C is 100. Remember the formulas: To convert Celcius to Fahrenheit: F = C * (9/5) + 32 To convert Fahrenheit to Celcius: C = (F - 32) * (5/9) So, let's do boiling, C to F. F=100*(9/5)+32 = 100*1.8+32 = 180+32 = 212 OK, it works. Now backwards just for good measure. C=(212-32)*(5/9) = 180*(5/9) = 180/1.8 = 100 OK, that works too. For freezing (32 F and 0 C), C to F. F = 0*(9/5)+32 = 0+32 = 32 OK. For F to C C = (32-32)*(5/9) = 0*(5/9) = 0 OK. So, there's some intuition that it works from checking those examples. Now for your specific tempuratre, 27 C. F = 27*(9/5)+32 = 27*1.8+32 = 48.6+32 = 80.6 So, that's what it is. See, I wouldn't lie to you! Now keep those formulas handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Hmm, actually... I had been thinking about doing a thread about how some various parts of a computer work, for those interested but who have not have the opportunity to learn yet. Maybe something like that.
