That's what I figured it probably meant, but

this is what confused me. Both 212/100 and -40/-40 are exact (not to mention an
infinity of other temperatures that never occur in nature around my neck of the
woods), so I was confused about the particular reference to 10/50. For reasons
beyond my ken, it didn't occur to me that it was an observation only in
connection to the numbers displayed in the drawing. I admit it should have been
obvious, but...

Take care
