No, I mean when I put 'The brain cannot process the word ""', there was nothing between the quotes because my brain can't process that word "" :-D

I have METHODS.

If any of you watched Monkeydust a lot more of the stuff you see would make sense.

That's an entertaining thought, but not a likely scenario.

You didn't get it then

You can make up any random calculation you want and correctly solve it, but that doesn't necessarily constitute a "right answer". Half the problem is working out the question.

* bangs head on wall * In the only interpretation of the question that makes sense, "twice as cold as 0c" is considered to be the temperature when the energy of the system falls to half its original level. This is best described in Kelvin. It can be described in celsius or Farenheit, but that does not mean that we randomly base the calculation on "zero". Hence the bit where I said "poorly-applied physics". If one uses any other interpretation of the question, the premise will always be flawed. Therefore whatever one does one will be "wrong", even if correctly applying the maths and/or physics.

The explanation "it's the mathematical answer" makes no sense. YT: Who are you talking to?

Which is why I described the Kelvin answer as being produced by "the only interpretation that makes sense".

Mr Hoppy went into the furnace four years ago. Remember what the prison psychologist said? You're a fucking nutcase.

So you are saying that if the temperature is 0c it can't be twice as cold tomorrow, because the universe will return "Error"?

See: "Invader Zim" - Nikelodeon, CBBC, or Kazaa. See: All of my above posts. What the question actually is is open to interpretation. But only one of those interpretations allows a valid calculation using physics principles - any other interpretation is poorly-applied physics, or just makes no sense. "French is based on Latin, and Japanese can be translated to french. Therefore Japanese is related to Latin."

Such an organism would have to be fairly basic, as it's difficult to have complex multicellular life that does not utilise sexual reproduction. There's probably a nematode or something that fits the bill.

Stupid monkeys. HA HA HA, "monkey".

I'm basing it around the fact that "cold" is the term given to a lack of heat energy; the heat energy concept being a derivative of what the Kelvin scale measures. Celcius is based around the melting point and boiling point of water, in order to provide an easier and more convenient scale for dealing with the every-day temperatures we are likely to encounter. The increment "1 degree c" is the same as the increment 1K. Farenheit on the other hand shares no such factor with Kelvin and the division of [0c expressed as Farenheit] by two is not representative of the halving of the energy in a system, which is the only sensible way to interpret the phrase "twice as cold".

Hmmmm. I suppose it was MR HOPPY?

AAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh You hideous human earth monkey. I know it's a matter of interpretation, that doesn't mean you can ignore basic physics and logic.

But that would have to be a common ancestor species (or, more likely, family) for all sexual organisms that have ever lived. I looked back to your original bees post which I missed before. It's highly unlikely that a cosmic ray (or anything causing a single mutation in 1 individual) triggered a fundamental change in the way the entire life cycle of the species works, but I get what you mean. The snakes thing I'll look into but I have never heard of self-fertilisation in reptiles before. As for human gender differentiation... modifying one process is easier than creating a new process to do something the body is pretty much doing already, hence the lack of elaborate mechanisms for making boy human worm-babies and girl human worm-babies.

It depends what you mean by "link"?

No, there is a possible correct answer. And only one possible answer, as nothing else makes sense. The Kelvin answer. By all means express it in Farenheit or Celsius or Joules per cubic barleycorn, but it's still always going to be 135.5K - not some random value on an arbitrarily assigned scale based around the properties of water. If the Kelvin answer is wrong, nothing else can be right.

Like I said, there is only one interpretation of the question that makes any sense, and that is the one based on Kelvin. The Farenheit calculation is a completely random one. It has no bearing at all on the heat energy in any system that you can predict based on the scant information in the question. I bet it's shampoo.

Anyone who says "42" like they're being clever and original will be instantly banned. [edit] Stupid simultaneous posts

No, your answer is right only in that you correctly calculated the equation you decided to calculated. 16F is not "twice as cold as" 0c Faf's Kelvin calc answers the only interpretation of the problem that actually makes any sense.

The brain cannot process the word "". What does that weird sentence mean?
