Americans and their units
metric is great until you need to do anything practical with it like converting cricket chirps to degrees /s
Assuming one spherical cricket in a vacuum
You can’t hear a cricket chirp in a vacuum.
The motor is too loud.
Ignoring air resistance?
…or count the chirps in 8 seconds and add 4.
Why am I taking 25seconds and dividing by 3? Accuracy?
My guess would be better approximation as you avoid a “fluke”, as 8 second is a very short time where nothing could easily happen even with crickets being present
I’m just bothered they chose divide by 3, instead of 16 seconds divide by 2 which is wayyy easier
Wow.
It’s zero degrees here in June.
Weird.
How did you hear negative chirps?
Can I learn this power?
Try salvia
Using the metric version you can get zero with no chirps. The method doesn’t work at all for the current temperature though, you can’t get -1°C any way
Nope, 0 / 3 = 0 -> 0 + 4 = 4°C
Division/Multiplication always goes before Addition/Subtraction.
That’s but how math works, doesn’t matter if you use the American or metric formula
Hello fellow southernhemispherian, how does it feel bring safe from nuclear winter?
How do you count just one cricket’s chirps? There are usually tons of them.
Count faster.
Glad to know it’s America and crickets that find fahrenheit more convenient for temperature.
I think that’s how we got fahrenheit.
Actually it was originally based on the freezing temperature of a brine and human body temperature.
No I’m pretty sure it was crickets.
Really it was “find something that is different to the reseller scales”
It was actually based on an existing scale called the Rømer scale
I feel like parentheses don’t belong in explaining math if they aren’t used appropriately.
30 chirps + (added to) 40 = 70
But what species is the cricket?
I was expecting some kind of Duckworth-Lewis formula.
Test or One-Day?
