Hey,

water boiling point is 100 degrees CELSIUS, not Fahrenheit.

---------------

Alan, this visitor (he or she) can not confirm that the soup boils at 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
since it would be heavily wrong and against physical facts.

So, asking to confirm, you requests tooooo much - he (or she) can only disprove . . .

Here is the link https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/equations/Equations.faq.question.1152956.html

I suspect, that these questions that we (and I, personally) observe at the forum last days, go from the same person.
