Ok i thought about this some more and its all in the wording...
Well if it *feels* twice as cold, you must be losing twice as much heat from your body.
Heat loss is proportional to temperature difference (Newton's Law of Cooling).
Body heat = 37 degrees Celsius approx.
Temperature difference before 0-37 = -37 degrees Celsius, approx.
Temperature difference next day = twice that = -74 degrees Celsius, approx.
Therefore, it must be 37-74 degrees = -37 degrees Celsius.
It's a good sign that this works in F as well as C:
before temperature difference = 32 - 98 = -66 degrees F
next day difference: -132 F
Temperature outside is = 98-132 = -34 F
which is about -37 C
how long is a string!?
that wasn't a serious question. More of a sarcastic remark pertaining to the previous question. It's a line from House of a Thousand Corpses.
Funkpo - My string answer wasnt a serious response either/:laughroll
