Nice teaser but very easy when one uses celsius all the time.
I may be easy for Celsius users but still easy for us Fahrenheit users

IT'S A ZOMBIE!!! EVERYONE RUN!!!

Simple and easy!
I got the idea, but was dumb enough to substitute Kelvin instead of Fahrenheit, and THAT's truly cold...

Umm... Great, but for the guy who doesn't get this, when Celsius the hottest point(boiling point) is 100 and lowest (freezing point) is 0, so 37 is average. In Fahrenheit the highest is 112 and lowest(freezing point) is 32. So 37 is cold. Gets?
this was so easy!!! i got it! tat says alot
Yay! I got this one.
Super_Sour: You put the boiling point of water at 112 F, it is 212
Easy if you know that body temperature is 37 C.
Easy if you know that body temperature is 37 C.
Good one!
Good job, but very easy... That was the first thing that came to mind...
Enjoyed it - thanks! Took a few moments for my little grey cells to connect, but I got it! To me, that makes a great teaser!
I guessed that.
if the dead ones the farrhinheight one then why does it say dead and COLD
It may also be because the ill man with 37 degree celsius or centigrade is suffering from an accident and his temp. Is still normal
Dont worry dimez i didnt get it too . It sometimes happens
I got this it was really easy but epic!
I got the premise of the two temperature scales quickly, but I was not certain how hot 37 degrees Celsius would be. I learned something new today, and now know it is body temperature. Thanks for that!
