This is #0# #""^@C#.

Explanation:

There are standard formulae for converting #"Fahrenheit"# to #"Celsius"#, and vice versa: i.e. stand on your head, think of a number between 1 and 10, and subtract 32........or something of the sort. You can look these up on the web. The #"Fahrenheit scale"# SPECIFIES the melting point of water as #32# #""^@F#, and the boiling point of water as #212# #""^@F#. These are the #"Fahrenheit"# values we tend to remember.

#@_C/5 = (F-32)/9#

Simplify

#@F = (@_C xx 9)/5 + 32#

#@C = (F-32)/9 xx 5#

Plug in the variables

#@C = (32^@F - 32)/9 xx 5#

#@C = 0/9 xx 5#
#@C = 0 xx 5#
#@C = 0#
