Gold melts at 1°c? That doesn't sound right.

It clearly says .064, so slightly ABOVE 1°C. Reading comprehension people!!

Ok, I'll set my forge to 0.064° higher for optimal melting.

ich_iel must be leaking

Yeah, that is supposed to be a comma. 1,064°C

In other countries the period (.) is used in replace of the comma (,) to express values larger than 1000. So, 1.064 really is 1064°C
