US rules, not CA. Yes, and that is exactly what the article says that I posted....It was a link to the US State Dept. not Canada. |

My own method for the temperature conversion is to know it in units of
ten and fill in between using 2 instead of the correct 1.8. For example, 50F is 10C, 68F is 20C, 86F is 30C., so 14C would be about 58F (a small error but who cares.) An accurate and easy to remember rule is add on 40, multiply by the factor, subtract 40. "EASY to remember" , you're joking, right ???? oC to oF: Try double it, add 30 |

It's a damn siight easier than "Do I add on or subtract 32 and at what point?" especially since it works for conversions in both directions! -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

You'll be collecting lots of tickets and points if you try the above for speed. E.g. 30mph---Above method. 30 x 2 = 60 +32 = 92. 30mph = 50kmh in reality. -- Martha Canada |

US rules, not CA. Although do expect Canada to refuse entry unless the border guard is reasonably certain the US will take you back or that you're permitted to stay in Canada indefinitely. |
