    0 Degrees :/

    Double 0 is nothing.

    how do you know that by multiplying 0 by 2 you will obtain a negative temperature? Also, tomorrow should be twice as cold, so for example you can't wear the same things at 0 degrees that you do for example at -40. :)

    Since I think you're talking about F,
    I converts it into C.

    -17.77777777777778

    times 2.

    -35.55555555555556 degrees Celsius

    So -32 degrees? ._."

    So it's

    32 Degrees F,
    times 2.

    64 degrees F.

    aka
    17.77777777777778 degrees Celsius ?

    that's what i thought, but as you see you obtain a positive temperature, so 17 cant be a valid answer, if you split it into 2, you get 16 degrees F, witch is about -8.8 C

    64 degrees F is twice as hot as 32 degrees F...

    I think you mean:

    32/2
    = 16 degrees F

    = 8.8 degrees celsius.

    Re: Here's one for you

    the problem here is that the concept of 'twice as cold' doesn't really make much sense. Fahrenheit and Celsius are just arbitrary man made units of measurement. Outside of them, there is not really such a thing as 'twice as cold'.

    For example, on paper it may seem that 100 Fahrenheit is twice as hot as 50 Fahrenheit. But 50 degrees Fahrenheit = 10 degrees Celsius, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit = 37.7777778 degrees Celsius. So if you're going by Celsius, you've nearly 'quadrupled' the temperature, whereas with Fahrenheit you've merely 'doubled' it. In reality, they're just numbers, and the subjective feeling of temperature can't meaningfully be quantified in terms of "double" or "quadruple".

    Indeed, people should be using the Kelvin scale.

    that would make the most sense, but we're stubborn and don't want to have to deal with something "new"

    new? i think its more the concept of losing each countries individualism thats stopping them, they all wanna be unique in their own way.

    the fact that its new is what would make them not do it after they've got over losing their individuality

    no they are just too lazy to want to take the time to convert, individualism has nothing to do with it. America isnt unique, just stubborn to change

    How about the fact that cold is actually a relative term, cold is a opinion, so twice as cold is also a opinion.

    Our normal body temperature is about 37 degrees celcius, if you were to use cold and hot in these terms then you should consider 18,5 degrees as twice as cold, and 74 degrees as twice as hot, but seeing as these are relative terms we consider those temperatures as very different. 74 degrees would feel like what, 50 times as hot?

    According to google, that's correct,sir.

    Dear altairr, first off first I am not a vandal, I am a gentleman my good sir.
    Second off, I wasn't talking about you, fellow gentleman.
    Now guards, go back to your work. -cleans monocle-
