That's true, but we still have this small problem

20,000°C = 36,032°F
200,000°C = 360,032°F
2,000,000°F = 1,111,093°C
2,000,000°C = 3,600,032°F

If the original is a number that is clearly rounded to the nearest
100,000, it is ridiculous to convert it to a number that implies an
accuracy of one degree. But then again, Verne himself sometimes made
the same mistake.

Cheers,
Garmt.
