An interesting question. It comes from bored.com - so I thought I'd just chuck it in this thread rather then making a new one.

"If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?"

I've been baffled by this question. I mean if you take it mathematically, it'll be also zero, cos anything multiplied by zero is zero. However, we are talking about temperature - it is TWICE as cold, so the temperature has changed, so it cannot still be zero.

I was thinking heaps about it and thought maybe convert to a different temperature measure, such as KELVIN or something. I dunno if it'll work, but it's just a very interesting question.

Maybe someone can put my mind at ease...I can't sleep!!! :)

I'm still trying to figure why we park on the driveway and drive on the parkway, so don't ask me any hard questions.

Here's a good one for you.....If pro is the opposite of con, then obviously CONgress is the opposite of progress. I think that's a Gallagher or Carlin, can't remember.

hot_ice> Convert everything to Centigrade
If its 0 degrees C then it will still be 0 degrees C
If its 0 degrees F thats like -15 C (or something) so it would be -30.
If its 0 degrees K then its -250 (something) C, so its well below absoutel 0, and no one would survive to measure it.
