Fahrenheit

From AoPSWiki

The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. The reference point 0\0^\circ F was based on the temperature Daniel's thermometer reached when it was put in ice, water, and ammonium chloride. Another reference point was 96\0^\circ F, which was the temperature of the human body that Daniel measured. His final reference point was the freezing point of water, or 32\0^\circ F.
