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

Answer 1

It depends what you name cold. For instance, if it is 0°C and you name "cold" below 15°C, then tomorrow it will be -15°C. If it is 0°F, then if you name "cold" below 60°F, then tomorrow it will be -60°F. The real rule could be even more complicated if we take into account out nonlinear perception of the temperature. Anyway, if you expect an exact answer, you need to provide more data
But I think the question is in fact a joke.

Answer 2

When using both Celsius or Fahrenheit they both will be zero because multiplying any number by zero = zero. However, this is why we have the Kelvin scale which zero is considered absolute zero.

If it's currently 0 Celsius and it will be twice as cold tomorrow we can use the Kelvin scale which is 273.15 at 0 Celsius. Divide that by two and you have: 136.575 Kelvin, which is equivalent to -136.575 Celsius or about -213.815 Fahrenheit.

Otherwise if it's 0 Fahrenheit, is about -17.77 Celsius or about 255.5 Kelvin. Divide by two equals -127.75 Celsius or about -197.95 Fahrenheit. Either situation is too cold for me :D

Answer 3

If the temperature is Zero Degrees centigrade today, being twice as cold implies -4 degrees (Sub zero)

Answer 4

Zero degrees Celsius is 32 gegrees of Fahrenheit. Twice this cool is 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 5

way too cold to go outside

Answer 6

temperature units doesn't have their values. they are used to name every coolness or hotness..
so you can't say temperature will be doubled.
10 degrees Celsius is not doubled 5 degrees.

Answer 7

273/2 kelvin

Answer 8

It will be Sub Zero.

Answer 9

16 deg F below?

Answer 10

...ask the nipples tomorrow...
they always know!
