Square Temperatures (Posted on 2016-06-29)

Each of M+N and M-N is a nonzero perfect square and:

M^o Celsius= N^o Fahrenheit

Find the smallest value of M+N. What is the next smallest value of M+N?

*** F = 9*C/5 + 32, where F and C respectively represents Fahrenheit and Celsius scales of temperatures.

(In reply to Assuming... by Charlie)

Your assumption is absolutely accurate, Charlie.

Prima facie, the problem text is itself erroneous.

It should read as:

"Each of M+N and N-M is a nonzero perfect square and:

o o

M Celsius= N Fahrenheit

Find the smallest value of M+N. What is the next smallest value of M+N?

*** F = 9*C/5 + 32, where F and C respectively represents Fahrenheit and Celsius scales of temperatures."

I will soon post the official solution with the inclusion of your accurate methodology in it.
