The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by Dutch-German-Polish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686 -- 1736). It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: F) as the unit. Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist. The lower defining point, 0 F, was established as the temperature of a solution of brine made from equal parts of ice, water and salt (ammonium chloride). Further limits were established as the melting point of ice (32 F) and his best estimate of the average human body temperature (96 F, about 2.6 F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale). The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 F, and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 F, a 180 F separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure.

Answer this question: what temperature does water boil at in fahrenheit? Let's think fast. Stream of consciousness:
The important part for answering this question is: The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 F, and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 F, a 180 F separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure. So the final answer is 212 F.
