day edition I should say, that it must
be just / above zero, but even If there
is q fraction above, you don't feel the
difference. To think of 1t. 1 would like
to get those 300 for another ton of coal
Solution: Zero plus 1 degree times 2
equals zero plus 2. which point you want
to get at: Yours truly, Ed Hausknecht,
Murray, Utah.
u2-w Weather Editor: In answering this
question we must know first what Is
meant by twice as cold" II you mean
one-haf as warm. then / should reduce
he reading to absolute zero and divide
by two, obtaining 2S7 degrees below. If
you do not mean one-half as warm, then
compare with the freezing point and %
degrees below would be the result. Yours

Having studied the puzzle in your Sum-

In reply to your weather puzzle / wish
to submit the following solution to the
question How cold must it be to be
twice as cold as 2 degrees above zero?': :
L take it that the zero referred to is
grees Fahrenheit below the Centigrade
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to- de-
grees Centigrade we must multiply by
90. Then 80 multiplied by SO equals 17.7S
doc N1vafT~ IL
The lowest possible temperature is
-27S degrees Centigrade and is called the
absolute zero.
273 degrees minus 17.7s degrees equals
205.22 degrees Centigrade.
-255.22 degrees multiplied by 9-5 equals
1898 degrees Fahrenheit, which equals
absolute zero in degrees Fahrenheit
1899 degrees Dlus degrees equals
461. 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the
temperature of degrees above zero in
degrees as compared with the absolute
zero.
Now If it is twice as cold it is half as
hot 46139 degrees divided by equals
2S0.698 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the
temperature required when referred to the
1898 degrees Fahrenheit below the Fab
renheit zero, so 1893 degrees minus
23O.6 degrees equals 22S.70 degrees Fab
reinheit below zero, which is my answer.
Yours respectfully.

! In yesterdays Herald there is a ques-
ton asking How cold must it be to be
twice as cold as degrees above Zero?'
| I figure that the thermometer runs up
to 120 degrees from zero; 2 degrees above
would be 11S degrees: and to be
twice as cold as this il would be two
times 118 degrees, which would be 236 de-
grees below zero. I think this is the cor
rect answer to your puzzle and hoping
to be the lucky man 7 remain
Yours respectfully

l11T-Weather Editor Salt Lake Herald:
Seeing your puzzle in Sundays paper,
decided to try and solve it. The answer
is zero degrees; that is, that 1t would
| have to be zero degrees to be twice as
cold as degrees above zero.
Yours respectfully,
