Comment on Draw an arrow to each temperature

But there are 31 temperatures

Only if you count 0 and 30
Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I do, those are definitely still temperatures.

Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn’t one of the choices. Tbextrah, there’s infinite temps in between the full degrees.

There’s 27 if you don’t count 0, 5, 12 and 23.

Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.
It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.
