Here's one for you. If its 0 degrees celsius today, and its supose to be twice as cold tomorrow. What temperature will it be?
 
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
 
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.
 
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
 
Stolen from brainiac, sir!
Here's another one for you: Is the zebra white with black stripes, or black with white stripes?
