Mmmmm, methinks this is a trick question but I will guess at minus 2 degrees...;

If by twice as cold you mean half as hot, then you really need to discern what the actual heat is at 0C, and then apply a logarithmic sliding scale to arrive at a point where you have exactly half that amount of heat. This will also depend on the average humidity, the wind-factor and so on...
0C does not mean absence of heat, because even at 0K there is conceptually heat.

Ok..unbelievably there is an answer!
Stefans Law E=const(DeltaT^4) (Assuming you are a perfect black body!)
Where E= radiated energy T=temp in kelvin
And delta =( temp diff between you (310K) and your surroundings(273K))^4 (fourth power)
If E1=heat loss today E2=heat loss tomorrow
Then E2=2E1
cancelling consts,
>T2^4= 2T1^4-T^4 where T2=tomorrow temp, T1= Today's temp(273K) and T=body temp (310K)
>T2^4= 1.874x10^9
>T2 = 208K or T=minus 64.9degC!
However this does not take into account that the feeling of cold is a subjective phenomenon!
I think you'd better wrap up nice and warm!?

"Twice as cold" is a relative term.Assuming it to mean "twice" of zero i.e.0 or -1 as we would feel twice as cold for every unit decrease of temperature,then tommorrows temp. is -1 degrees C.

Cold is a qualitative description.
Temperature is an exact value, so you would need to provide an equation that relates coldness to temperature.
Otherwise, this is just a trick question.

The temperature tomorrow is going to be 00 degrees C. If, after that, it gets just a little colder, with a British touch, it's going to be 007.

this is a trick question. scientifically, "twice as cold" doesn't make any sense.
but if you want a number, if it means half the heat, I'd take the starting point to be absolute zero (-273 deg C), so the difference is 273 deg and half the heat would be 136.5 deg less, so -136.5 deg C.

0 degrees C = 32 degrees F. Assuming by twice as cold they mean half as warm, it will be 16 degrees F, which is about -8.9 degrees C.

Is there a difference between twice as cold and half as warm?
