My 11 yr old son & hubby say 0, I say -18

 

[Curgan]

-138 degrees C and im sticking to it!!!

 

[kragon]

yea its zero because 0 times 2 equals zero

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!?

 

[sambrinar]

I'm not even guessing.. Riddles drive me nuts

 

[dianezoo]

how long is a string!?

six letters.=.s t r i n g :laugh:

 

[funkpolice]

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. I'm still waiting to find out how cold 2X0C is. Hopefully the person that knows will ask a simple trivia question.

 

[Curgan]

-35.5??

 

[NonamisMomi]

Cha Chinnnggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD JOB CURGANNN...YOUR TURN

 

[funkpolice]

how about an explanation.

[michelle9491]

I'm lost, lol!

 

[sambrinar]

That's cuz we are all old guys...

OK the train is traveling at 55 mph, and the opposite train is traveling at 6 mph.. aahhh who cares.. LOL

Freeking math riddles are the worst

Funkpo - My string answer wasnt a serious response either/:laughroll

 

[Curgan]

i just googled it so we could move on, i dont have an explaination.... :\

Ok New Question...

This is a visual riddle... what known phrase does this image depict..
