I guess this is a trick question. Temperature is not a relational scale. In other words, 10 degrees is not really twice as cold as 20 degrees. Heat and cold are perceived measures and have no absolute relation.

Convert the temperature into Kelvins, divide by 2, and convert back into Fahrenheit or Celsius. When you're multiplying or dividing the temperature by a factor, the absolute temperature must be used.

It it's zero degrees Fahrenheit outside, then "twice as cold" is -246 degrees Fahrenheit.

If it's zero degrees Celsius outside, then "twice as cold" is -137 degrees Celsius.

In the extremely unlike event of a temperature of zero Kelvins, then "twice as cold" is still zero Kelvins.

It will be half as cold as day before yesterday if zero was four times as cold as the day before. Generally the day after tomorrow will then have a 30%
chance of sunshine unless it's in a winter polar region and then it likely
will be twice as cloudy as the day before. Generally, but if you need something really specific you can take some readings at 8pm on the north pole and compare them to 5am readings at the south pole.

Cold is an opinion. Temps are perceived views. There is only the absence of heat, however, the temp. will aprox. be -34 degrees Celsius.

Not cold at all. Sweatshirt weather. Not cold enough to break out the cold weather gear.

Nice one - but twice as cold? I've never heard it on British weather forecasts. It doesn't really make sense, does it?

0 degrees? Is this a trick question?

Convert to the other system (Celsius if Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit if Celsius) and do it that way!

OR...measure everything from absolute zero and do it that way.
