Some of us are aware that -40° Celsius is also -40° Fahrenheit. It's the only point where the two scales agree.

But did you know there are palindrome temperatures and they're very useful also!

16° Celsius = 61° Fahrenheit
28° Celsius = 82° Fahrenheit

@atoponce

There might be some more obscure scale where this is also true, but I _think_ temperature is the only thing where metric and imperial units can be converted with a simple (single-digit) ratio. That's because in 1777, the Royal Society redefined Fahrenheit to be exactly 180 degrees between freezing and boiling water — which, of course, is a 100 degree span in Celsius or Kelvin.

@mattdm @atoponce 127/5 (2^7-1)/5 is rather simple too.
@mattdm @atoponce yeah, but miles:kilometers is more fun, because the ratio is close enough to just use the Fibonacci sequence as a scale (after the low single-digit values, anyway). Three miles? 5 km. Five miles? 8km. 8 miles? 13km. 13 miles? 21km.
