A coworker and I were discussing temperature thresholds for some of the products that the company makes, and we wanted to know what -32 degrees Celsius was in Fahrenheit. Now, for those of you who remember your high school math, the formula looks like this:

F = (1.8)*C + 32

Putting -32 degrees in for C would yield F to equal -25.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Apparently Google thinks otherwise (click the link to execute the query yourself…will open a new window):

I don't think this is right...

I’m going to see if I can contact someone at Google about this. This should be interesting.

UPDATE: Google fixed this bug, I last checked it on 08/22/2006 at 9:00pm.
