RIP Ray Bradbury
Dead at 91.
I am a Sci Fi nerd because of classic Sci Fi writers such as Ray Bradbury and Arthur C Clarke.
You guys - your stories will live on forever.
party on Ray!

That's a good long life. Loved his books as a kid, especially The Silver Locusts and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

A is correct  and not to detract from the seriousness of Ray Bradbury's passing ... that exam question was a little tricky because the kids did not have the formulae and the other choices would be what you would arrive at ... if you selected the wrong equation: 451 + 273 = answer B 451 – 273 = answer C (451 – 32) x (5/9) = answer E

RIP Mr. Bradbury.
I remember the TV show The Ray Bradbury Theater. Always enjoyed that.
