  In Galen’s scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article

    Ohh ok thanks for that link! So it is non linear. But not even a consistent curve like log, just if less than zero some factor, if positive a different one. Yuck.

      That’s the conjecture by Randall and Explain XKCD wiki editors. We can’t tell either way, he just wasn’t specific enough.
