for the many of you who may be considering a career in clowning and trademark law.

But first, the first day of spring is this Friday.

Temperatures are, it's getting warmer.

Let's say you find yourself outside on a hot day.

Your phone is dead and you don't have a thermometer.

Can you imagine going outside without a thermometer? Who are we? There is a trick

to without a thermometer tell the exact temperature outside when it's warm enough. Biologist Marlene

Zuck is online. Marlene, can you tell us about it? Sure. Over a hundred years ago, someone named

Dolbert came up with a way to calculate mathematically

the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit by counting the number of chirps you hear a cricket making

in 15 seconds. And the formula is that if you count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and you

add 40, you end up with the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

The problem is that, like a lot of things, it actually only works under a very, very, very limited set of circumstances.

Okay. So the idea is, I find a cricket. If it chirps 12 times in 15 seconds,

then I add 40, I would know it is 52 degrees Fahrenheit. You would. You would.

Really? Okay. It feels like if it's summer, it shouldn't be warmer than 52 degrees outside.

There you go.

Yes, that is precisely the point.

Okay.
