Holy fuck I'm getting dumber.

[UPDATE] I just did 10 minutes of math to prove to myself I haven't gone brain-dead. Where is the O-Dog when I need him. "Cal-coo-lus? What's cal-coo-lus?"

Tonight at pub quiz at the Harlequin Hotel, I was stumped to find the temperature at which Fahrenheit and Celsius are equal.

I finally got the answer by drawing each on a graph, then trying to guesstimate and substituting the point they intersect.

But it's just a very simple simultaneous equation:

F = 9/5C + 32
F = C

Fuck. I feel really, really stupid right now. My only saving grace is that I did get this when many people didn't.
