As far as I know, the F scale was chosen based on how the temperature feels to us. 100 is very hot, 0 is very cold. I will admit that C (or Kelvin, as mentioned before) is better for just about anything else, but for weather reports, I will go to my deathbed believing that the Fahrenheit scale is better.
Anyway, I think my greatest takeaway from these locations vs. pages threads is that for a quick conversion, just divide by 10. E.g. location 2046-52 is really page ~204.6. Why Amazon couldn't just do this from the get-go, I don't know, since it would probably save hundreds of virtual trees worth of message board posts.  |
Yep. Divide by 10. Even easier, just drop the last digit.
