If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice
as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

Cold is relative in that manner. If it is 2 degrees, what would twice as cold be? You need a second number to compare to. (ex: relative to 0 degrees twice as cold as 4 degrees would be 2 degrees. But twice as cold as 4 degrees relative to 2 degrees would be 3 degrees.)

still zero. when you multiply zero by any number it will always be zero. simple maths. Of course, if you say the temp is 0 degrees fahrenheit then you can convert it to centigrade. the answer lies in how the question is actually asked..

Zero degrees Celsius is equal to 273 Kelvins. If by "twice as cold" you mean "half as warm", the temperature will be 136.5 K or -136.5 degrees Celsius.

If you mean 0 degrees celcius:
0 C = 32 F (Farenheight)
so twice as cold will be 16 F which calculates to:
-8.8 degrees celcius

No the question cannot make sense I will say -136.575°C as it is the half point interval between absolute zero and 0°C

Tricky one. I don't really know the answer, but if I was a brass monkey I wouldn't risk going outside !

still zero in c but probably -32 in f degrees

Very cold. Don't forget your mittens.
