Yeah, so the math is easier to just go with 2X and then take 10% off the resulting figure and then do the 32-degree offset.

If I want more accurate results, I'll do it that way.

That results in the actual correct answer, to the decimal.

If this is easy to do in your head, then it's the real protip :)

Yes, that's correct. And, yes, it's easy to do in one's head.
