ROOM TEMPERATURE??? 24°??? are u TRYING to SWEAT ME OUT
*sigh* No, my apologies for that; the short version is that my high school physics teacher, and the textbook we used, straight up said “If a problem says something takes place at ‘room temperature’, use 24 degrees C”.
I do not know where the textbook was written and I do not thinkSister Mary Valitzski was from anywhere much farther south than Pennsylvania, but that’s the number we were given to use as room temperature.

51C is not a common Aussie temp like you’d die wtf
You’re quite right, it’s not common at all. It’s just that I wanted to find a world record high temperature from somewhere other than the United States. I had grown up being taught that the other highest temperature was one recorded at ‘Aziziyah, Libya, but when I tried to verify that one I found that the World Meteorological Organization had decided that the record there was no longer considered a valid one. The next highest temperature considered valid was 50.7 degrees C, recorded in Oodnadatta, South Australia, in 1960. So that’s why 51 degrees C means you’re in Australia on this chart.

Slight correction, 37 degrees Celsius is already a slight temperature. 36 is the healthy human body temperature.
Erm.
Admittedly, there’s this:
However, please note that 97.7 F = 36.5 C, still higher than 36. Also, according to the info in the article above, healthy body temperature can and does vary by gender, age, and time of day.
36 may be an acceptable temperature for certain individuals at certain times of day, but 37 is the answer that schoolteachers will be looking for.
