Exactly. Thats exactly what I do. Its the "subtract a few degrees" that makes it a lot closer. And remember, the bigger the number, the more you have to subtract.

Yep. The real conversion would make 10 deg c = 50 deg f, but its not like the 2 degrees is going to make a difference in what you wear. It works great for weather type converstions, but if you are talking oven temps, it can be way off.
