bahh, too long!!
try this:

perl -pe 'print"Celcius:".($_-32)*(5/9);$_="";print"nEnter Farenheit:"'

61 characters

or without prompting,
perl -pe '$_=(($_-32)*5/9)."n"'
that's 21 characters

 

This is crazy guys! It's like everyones posting their own language here. Haha

 

noone did php for the web:

<?php?>
<FORM ACTION='post' METHOD='<?echo $PHP_SELF?>'>
Farenheit: <INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='f' VALUE='<?echo $f?>'><?if ($c) { echo "is $c Celcius"; }?>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='s' VALUE='convert farenheit to celcius'>

 

Ya done made me bust out the lisp.

Maybe this should go into pocket protector forum...

better think about another major....

 

or a shell script

#!/bin/sh

echo "Enter Farenheit: "
read f
a=`expr $f - 32`
a=`expr $a * 5`
a=`expr $a / 9`
echo "Celcius is $a"

 

here's MSIL

.method private hidebysig static void Main(string[] args) cil managed
{

It seems we're one step away from making this the first annual OOULS2KIFCCC...
