The difference between Centigrade (Celsius) and Absolute is 273°. That's sort of like saying that something weight 500,000,000 tons, but you don't know if it's imperial or metric tons. At that scale, it just doesn't matter.

It does matter for your example as the conversion is m=n*c rather then m=n+c.
Oh and it's definitely imperial because you digit grouped with commas

Simplicio: What is the meaning of life?

Salviati: The meaning of life is math

Simplico: :uhh:

Sagredo: M is the 13th letter, A is the 1st letter, T is the 20th letter, and H is the 8th letter.

13 + 1 + 20 + 8 = 42

Does not compute. In the Italian alphabet M is the 11th letter and T is the 18th. (No J, K, W, X, and Y).

a student says to the professor: "i am wanting to do better in your class, and i have immaculate study consistency all term, yet I'm still doing poorly."

professor responds: "studying consistently is like a proof by induction; you need the right base case."

Q. How many Walter Rudins does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. The punchline to this joke is so similar to other jokes that we omit the details.

How many mathematicians does it take to change a light bulb?
The derivation of the punchline to this joke is left as an exercise for the reader.
