Seems like the old "temperature bug" is being revisited.  For those of
you who didn't follow this thread shortly after the 48 came out, just
remember this:

If you have 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and you want to add 5 more degrees,
all you have to press is 75 F, 5 R, SWAP, +.

Similarly, if you want to do Celsius (Centigrade) arithmetic, make the
second number Kelvin, then swap and do whatever you wanna do.

This even makes sense, as per others' observations already posted.
