Ice fishing joke
"If you are ice fishing in zero-drgree weather, and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?"
Also, today's bit of useless trivia:
There is only one temperature on a scale that mwasures BOTH celcius and Fahrenheit temperature. Do you know what it is (without looking)?

-30.6 degF.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

The temperature that is the same on both scales is -40.

Prbuzz seems to be the closest to what I would think based upon each degree Celsius is a little over 2 degrees Fahrenheit (water boils at 100 Celsius or 210-212 Fahrenheit).
So whats the answer?

My calc>assuming the problem started at 0 degF = -17.8degC
2x as cold drops it to -35.6 deg C
Convert back to F scale = -30 - -32 degF (Damn cold)
NOT quite but close to -40 C/F.

Easy way to check it yourself, short of looking at a thermometer.
This is the formula that I learned in high school:
C = (F - 32) X 5/9
F = (C X 9/5) + 32
That's one part of my math education I was able to use as an adult!

For ballpark, you get withing a few degrees and easier to do in the head:
C = (F - 32) / 2
F = (C x 2) + 32
Or do as I did and find a C<>F converter on-line.

To convert C to F in your head. Take the temperature, double it, subtract 10% and add 32.

Answer is zero degress.
Because if your fishing for ice "ice fishing" the temperature of ice remains the same eventhough it is twice as cold outside.

Maybe I needed to supply a visual aid for this question.
If you have a thermometer that gauges BOTH C & F temps, there is only one temperature that will be in the same spot on both scales.
That temp is -40.
