A question

If one day it has 0 degrees outside, and the next day it has the double cold than the previous day, how many degrees will there be?

 

uhhhhh.....negative 2...?

 

0 x 2 = 0
anything times 0 = 0
and 0 is neutral so there is no negative or positive zero
so therefore it is impossible...
or just say 42... either way...

 

But it's temperature we're talking about, right, so shouldn't it go down?

 

the point is, one cannot double zero

 

And we all know that 0 celcius degrees equal to 273 kelvin degrees, so
2 x 273 = 546 degrees kelvin
Is 546 degrees kelvin 0 celcius degrees?I thought 273 kelvin were 0 celcius...

 

Oh well...and true

You lost me....

 

well someone watches cactaur and tonberry :3
but double COLD would mean divide 273 by 2

 

lol nice question but i have no idea >_>

 

anyways the answer you are looking for is -136.5

 

that is kelvin or celcius?
I n kelvin degrees you can't have the "-" in front
And if it is celcius, then how did youu get into that?
I'd really like a nice answer... too bad I can't find it

 

Really, it depends on how cold it was the day before. If it was 10 degrees the first day, then went to 0 degrees, then the day after beyond doubly cold would be -10 degrees.

Or, if you want to screw around with your heads a little more, 0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Farenheit, and double cold would be 16 degrees Farenheit which is about... -8.89 degrees Celsius.

So there's your answer.

 

its 0 degrees with a wind chill twice as much as the day before.

 

Celsius
convert 0 to Kelvins
divide by 2
subtract by 273 to convert back to Celsius

 

Why even go into Kelvins? Just do it in Celsius

 

because my brain cannot handle that math

 

32/2 = 16 degrees celsius

 

Many people posted their answers and thoughts, and most of them seem to be correct.
It is either us we are forgetting someting or the temperature system has a flaw.
