this is a good one... made me smile when i first read it.
about the temperature thing, the question is meant to confuse everyone, as it didn't specify what "unit of measure" is used.

Ha Ha good questions.
Quote:
If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
Well the answer to that question is, it can only FEEL twice as cold.
In order for it to be twice as cold, we are assuming that it is going to be 2 x [ a value], and of course 2 x zero is zero, which tells us the question is somewhat illogical.
When converting the temperature to farenheit, it makes a bit more sense but still is not quite sound. i.e
If it's 32 degrees farenheit outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
2 x 32f = 64f (or 17 degrees centigrade).
Which would mean 17c is twice as cold as 0c.
But how can 2 x 0 be 17?
Converting it again to degrees Kelvin will produces an even wilder conclusion.
0 degrees Centigrade is equal to 273 deg Kelvin. 2 times that is 546 deg Kelvin which is 273 deg C.
Yeah, very cold

Twice as cold would mean 32Farenheit divided by 2, not x2.
Therefore 16 degrees F is twice as cold as 0 degrees Celcius.
Good question about the mineral water, I think that whole industry is based on deception and misinformation.

So -8.8 deg C is twice as cold as zero deg C?

The temperature question will give different answers for different locations.
For the temperature to be classified as cold it has to be lower than the mean temp of the place and an apparent measure of coldness can be (mean temp) - (current temp)
For example if the mean temp of a place is 20C and today its 0C then for it to be twice as cold tomorrow the temp must be -20C
You'll find that regardless of what temp scale you use this will always yield the same answer.
Well thats what i feel anyways

Yup, that's what I said in my first post in this thread.
