I didn't say Temperature is an attribute of Object. I said that the 
scale used for temperature is an attribute of temperature.

I didn't say anything about where Temperature lived. I just mentioned 
deriving it from Number instead of Object.

Temperature is a Number, so I made it a subclass of number. You can make 
it a subclass of Object, but it would not really serve any additiona 
benefit.

If you want a Room, then ask yourself: is temperature an attribute of a 
Room or vise versa? I believe the former. So temperature is an attribute 
of a room. It's a member. Room can be a subclass of Object and 
Temperature would be an attribute, not a subclass, or room. If you want 
the temperature of the room, you'd call (using pseudo code here) 
something like: myRoom.temperature.asF() or myRoom.temperature.asC().
