Sure it is. (Memory doesn’t run at room temperature. It runs at half the boiling point of water).

You have water at -68.5 C? Most of us call that ice. So I am pretty sure you know what I mean and you’re flirting with the HN rules.

You can't halve the temperature of something by halving its measument in Celcius, because the celcius starts at some arbitary point above absolute zero.
50 degrees celcius is 86% as hot as the boiling point of water, not 50%.
