My answer to your problem is 81 de-
grees below zero.
My argument is that heat and cold are
compared with the normal temperature
Of the human body 80 degrees Fahren-
heit To the normal body articles at SO
degrees Fahrenheit would be neither
would be IS degrees below the point
neither warm nor cold, and twice as cold
would be So degrees below that point, or
"a degrees below zero. Respectfully

The answer to puzzle is l degree above

|9s-Weather Editor Salt Lake Herald:
In reply to your query; How cold
would 1t be If it was twice cold as 2
degrees above zerO?' I would say that it
would be 2 degrees below zero. Yours,

1OO-Weather Editor: Assuming that
zero is your base following the principle
that twice one is two, when the Their
be twice as cold as when it registered 2
degrees above or vice versa twice as
warm at degrees above as when at 1
above. Yours truly, Mignon Russell No.

1O1-Editor Weather Department: An
swer to your query, How cold viii it
be to be twice as cold as degrees above
zero?" Answer: Twice as cold. F. E. s.,

1o2-Editor Weather Department: An
swer to your query: How cold will 1t
be to be twice as cold as 2 degrees above
zerOg' Answer: Six degrees colder OF
4 degrees below zero. J. z. N, S41 South

10S-Editor Salt Lake Herald: Your
question as to how cold must it be to
be twice as cold as 2 degrees above zero,
in my judgment it would be zero. Yours
truly, Albert Gallyer Murray City.
1O4--Gentlemen: 1 hand you herewith a
solution Of your puzzle regarding Their
nlometers: To be twice as cold as 2
above zero you would have Z296 degrees
below zero as a possible temperature
| 1917 degrees absolute; 2 degrees above
/ zero equals 1872 degrees absolute. If it 5
! twice as cold it's One-half as warm, or
900 degrees absolute, or 2296 degrees be-
low zero, Is. Sincerely yours, Herbert
! c. Brown, Bell Telephone company.
1O5-Weather. Editor: Cold is lack of
/ heat. Absolute zero is 46O degrees below
| zero. F. To be twice as cold would be
half as much heat. Two above zero plus
! 460 degrees below would be 462 degrees
Of heat. One-half of that would be 2S1
/ degrees below zero. Respectfully, Vera
Ormsby, 800 f street.
1O6-Weather Editor: The answer to
| your puzzle: How cold will it be to be
/ twice as cold as two degrees above zero.
Ny solution to the puzzle is this: That
z degrees above zero is 80 degrees below
the freezing point, and twice 30 are 50,
{ nrltfv A. -
make 90 degrees below the freezing point.

How cold is 1t when it is twice as cold
as two degrees above zero? The answer
10 the above question depends on from
what point you compute or what degree
/ OF temperature is the dividing point be-
tween heat and cold. We viii take 90
degrees above zero, or freezing, from
Whlch to compute Then degrees above
zero would be just 80 degrees below freez-
ing point Then if we are to take degrees
as units of measure for heat and cold
aS we DO feet or inches for lineaI nea-
surement, ali we have to do is to descend
! the scale to 50 degrees below freezing
point, which brings US to Is degrees below
zero, which would be the answer TO the
ABOVE question. 5. NJ. Moore, 81 West

109-Weather Editor, Salt Lake Herald:
l note IN your Sunday Herald the fol-
LOWING puzzle: How cold must it be to
be twice as cold as 2 degrees above zero?
Permit me to submit the following an
sWer: 196 degrees. Yours truly Miss
Edith Mitchell les North Eighth West:
age II years.
u0-Weather Editor, Salt Lake Herald .
l respectfully submit my solution to the
weather puzzle published in Sundays
Herald, tO-wit: How cold must If be
70 be twice as cold as degrees above
zeroE The solution is as follows; Cold
IS the absence of heat; the point where
no heat exists is the absolute zero, which
is 40 degrees below the Fahrenheit zero.
Inc absolute temperature at degrees
above zero is AGO plus 2 or 462 degrees. If
it were twice as cold there would he
nan as much heat present. and the alb
soIute temperature would be one-haIf as
much, or 400 divided by 2 or 81 degrees
the temperature then is 2S1 above the all
soiute zero, and the absolute zero being
800 degrees below the Fahrenheit zero the
EolnI below Fahrenheit zero is 400 less
81, or ~ degrees. Hence the answer to
me question is 229 degrees below zero.
