Fun facts about the Fahrenheit scale

Folks,

I've never been a big fan of the Fahrenheit scale as it is quite cumbersome to convert to Celsius. But today when flying Carenado's C208 Grand Caravan, I noticed for the first time that 0°F is not a single point on the scale, but what appears to be an interval:

Well, the more you know, the further you'll go! :mallet_s:

The fun doesn't stop here. Because every software developer knows that making components reusable is a good thing, their C172 also shares this fun fact:

That's all the Carenado planes I own, but I wonder how many other models have that?

That pesky number 2 is always so hard to get hold of. Maybe we should just remove the number 2 all together, 1345678910 is so much easier, plus it removes the need for the 2 times table. School kids everywhere will be so happy!
