You didn't lecture at Shinfield by any chance ? I was on a course where an exam question was to calculate the cloudbase. I took the dry bulb temp and dewpoint, multiplying the difference by 400. (The intent was to have the student do a long winded calculation using DALR yawn.......). I was deducted a mark on the grounds that while the method used was commonplace and perfectly ok, nobody likes a smartass.
