tS6-weather Editor: The following is
IL answer to the question How cold
must II be to be twice as cold as . de-
grees above zerO?'' Temperatures are
measured in degrees above the absolute
zero, which is 40 2-3 degrees below zero.
Consequently a temperature of degrees
above zero would be 462 2-3 degrees above
the absolute zer) Twice as cold would
therefore, be One-half of this, or 81 1-3
degrees above the absolute zero or 229 l-3
degrees below the zero OF a Fahrenheit
thermometer Yours truly. Edna c. Jen-

'Ine solution OF your weather problem
IN Sundays Herald is as follows:
Two degrees above zero is equal to 70
degrees of frost or thirty degrees below
1.-THE freezing point Of water Twice as

SO-Weather Editor:
The way I would solve your puzzle in
dhe Sunday Herald Is:
Two degrees above zero is 30 degrees
below the freezing point of water Twice
as cold would be SO degrees below freez-
ing point OF water, or Is degrees below
zero. Answer: g degrees below. Yours

In reply to your query in The Herald
Sunday: How cold is it when it is twice
as cold as degrees above zero?' I would
say 1t is Is degrees below zero
because, taking 81 degrees above zero
Fahrenheit as freezing point and de-
grees above zero the present cOldness, to
be twice as cold il must be twice the
difference between 81 degrees and 2 de-
grees- The difference between the two
Is: 81 degrees minus 2 degrees EQUALS go
degrees, and twice thirty degrees equals
90 degrees and, taking freezing point, %
degrees Fahrenheit, the starting of
GOODNESS. it would be % degrees above
zero less 90 degrees, which is Is degrees
below zero. Hoping the above answer is
correct, / remain, as ever yours truly,

81 see in Sundays Herald something
called q puzzler, as follows:
How cold must Il be to be twice as
cold as degrees above zerO?'
Two degrees above zero is thirty de-
gTees below freezing. Hence twice as
cold Is 80 degrees below freezing and 60
zero. Yours respectfully
