Answer 6

People keep asking this on here.  To give a reasonable answer, you have to interpret "twice as cold" as meaning the same thing as "half as warm."  If you do, the answer is straightforward, just convert to absolute temperature units.  For example, if you're talking about 0 Fahrenheit, that's about 454 Rankine degrees, divide that by two to get 227 Rankine, then convert back to Fahrenheit by subtracting 454, to get -227 Rankine.  You could do the same thing in Celsius: 0C = 273K, divide by two to get 136 K, then subtract 273 to get -137 K.

Note that if you're already in Rankine or Kelvin units, the answer is still 0.
