Problem

In hell, temperature is measured on the Theophist scale. The conversion formula between Theophist and Celsius scales is linear. The temperature 100°T (degrees Theophist) is the boiling temperature of sulfur 445°C. Once it was so cold in hell that paraffin wax solidified. At that time, the hell's meteorological station measured −62°T, which corresponds to 40°C. Determine the boiling temperature of mercury (357°C) in hell's units °T.
