Ah, another excuse to whip out my one bit of interesting temperature based trivia.

-40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit, and 575 is the same in Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

Wow that was useless. Thanks!

That's nice, but you still need to get out of the volcano.

What about rankine?

That one is easy. Rankine and Kelvin line up at 0 and technically a bit at 1 as well. sort of.

More like 0.5555 Kelvin and 1 Rankine, but I'm allowed to round up a bit in this.
