Yes, clever. My older thermometers had a set screw on the back for temperature correction. You could just turn that and get whatever you wanted.

Dear Paul, that's pretty clever....lol...you certainly fooled me..and I would not have thought of this. Still a very nice shot (to fool people with) Traveller

You didn’t know I was down visiting Jim deep in the Sonoran desert did you! ;-}. Neither did I. If no one asked or questioned it I wasn’t going to say anything but since you did… This morning at 6:30 or so the thermometer read 72 F and I wondered how kool would it be if it read over 100 so I went to the basement and pulled out one of the few tools that didn’t sell when I shut down last year, a Milwaukee heat gun. Plugged it in and pointed it at the back of the thermometer and suddenly it’s 120 outside! Yesterday and today were mid 90’s but that don’t look as interesting as over 100. Paul

Our occupations lead us to all kinds of interesting situations,don't they? Good picture, good treatment...but is it really 111F where are? If so, Yikes....crank up that air conditioning...lol

Best Wishes, Traveller

Oof that would be cold, thinking -200 to 250 or so without calculating.

The coldest I’ve ever experienced was working inside a blast freezer replacing light fixtures for a meat processing production company at -80F. The wind chill with the blowers running was -200. I remember well the heavy hard to breathe feeling in my chest. I went to Dale, the production manager, and told him to kill the blowers because I couldn’t take that kind of cold even with the multiple layers of cold weather gear I had on. Paul

Get a Kelvin thermometer. You'll feel cooler (in more ways than one).
