Police arrived at the scene of a murder at 12 a.m. They immediately take and record the body’s temperature, which is 90°F and thoroughly inspect the area. By the time they finish the inspection, it is 1:30 a.m. They again take the temperature of the body, which has dropped to 87°F, and have it sent to the morgue. The temperature at the crime scene has remained steady at 82°F. At what time did the crime occur?
3.1 Aliens from the planet Jeenkah have based their temperature scale on the freezing and boiling temperatures of ethyl alcohol. These temperatures (in degrees Celsius) are -114°C and 78°C, respectively. The Aliens choose °J as their temperature unit, and decided to allocate 144°J to the temperature difference between the freezing and boiling points of ethyl alcohol and to let 0°J be the freezing point of ethyl alcohol. A healthy person has an oral temperature of 37°C. What would this temperature be on the planet Jeenkah in °J.
