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.
