In the end, "the book" of this episode's fight is revealed to be
titled "K 505." I then did a little conversion of Kelvin to
Fahreneheit, and found 505 K = 449.6 F. Close enough! : )
On that note, did any publishers outside of the US actually change
Fahrenheit 451's title? I'd have thought "C 232" would make more
sense that an ultra-scientific Kelvin-based title . . .

I don't think so. At least the German publisher didn't.
