If you were locked in a room, would you rather have the temp raise or lower by 5 degrees every 5 minutes?

Answer 1

definitely lower.

Either way you are dead meat, but I imagine freezing to death is a little less painfull than burning to death.

Lets see, if you raised it, you would be dead within 3 hours. 70+180=250.
If you lowered it, you could live as long as possible if you're bundled up. In 3 hours:
70-180=-110. Yeah, I think you'd be dead.

Answer 2

For how long?
What would be the cut off point?
Could I say "stop" and it would STOP?


I'd rather have the temp LOWER than Raise...I've gained alot of weight in the last 2 years...mostly because of my disease...and I just CANNOT handle the heat. I'd rather freeze.

Freezing temps will put you into a comatose state and I also have a respiratory disease..so I would just go to sleep and never wake up.

Much preferred over frying to death, don't you think?

Answer 3

Lower

Answer 4

Depends on what the temp was to begin with. If it was 80, lower it. If it was 40, raise it.

Answer 5

I would say lowered and raised alternately every 5 minutes.

Answer 6

Lower.

Answer 7

Lower.

Answer 8

Raised.

Answer 9

lower, i would rather freeze to death and try to keep myself warm than to get so hot that no matter what i do i can only get hotter, becuase if you get too cold, u can run around or jump up and down and keep moving to keep warm. u can't really do anything to cool yourself off if you are locked in a room

Answer 10

Wow Yetiii, good Q. I think I'd have to say Lowered. I hate the heat. Coldness, me likey!
