    The original definition is using three points:

    • A random human’s body temperature defined 96°F
    • Freezing point of Water defined 32°F
    • A weird Water salt ice mixture to defined 0°F

    Because of that the scale of Fahrenheit was different above the Freezing point of water and below, requiring to redefine the temperature at the reference points multiple times (and not by an insignificant amount)
