It's a good teaser, :D it's easy though.

That was good and easy. The other answer could be that the doctor wrote the auxilary (underarm) temperature, which is one degree lower.

My usual temp is 96.8. I have a slow metabolism, so it is normally low. If I have a temp of 98.6, I have a fever. lol :roll:

Why is this in the "trick" category?

that was easy for me, but that's probably because my temp. is always low

For a minute I thought it said "the doctor told the child that HE was perfectly healthy", as in the doctor was healthy. But the kid was screwed :P

i think this should have gone in the science category.

Posted by oddrey09/10/07
SHould have been in the trivia category. Sorry, but this one was way too easy and common knowledge. Nice effort though. :D
