How?

Did one of them give birth?

I though it was too easy! But well done, Bilbo. Over to you.

It was a delivery room, and a mother had given birth during that 4 hours?

EDIT: I've done it AGAIN!!! Didn't notice there was a next page...

Expecting a cold snap here in the UK, so what is the lowest temperature ever recorded on earth (in centigrade please and to the nearest degree)?

I would guess it would have occurred in Antarctica - I have read that the winds coming off the mountains covered by glaciers produce phenomenal low temps. Diaries by Scott, Amundsen, and others report daily temps of -50 C as bearable, so I would guess a record low would be considerably lower. So, I'll guess -75 C.

It was in Antarctica, yes, but not -75 C.

-90c in Antarctica

-86 degrees at some research station in Antarctica.

CO2 would condense out of the atmosphere at -78C, and I'm sure I would have heard of that if it had ever been recorded anywhere.

I'll say -45C

Closest so far, but not within 1 degree yet.

No, considerably colder than that.

Kumabjorn · 01-13-2013, 07:58 AM

I guess a logical guess then would be -83 degrees.

Not quite logical enough, sorry.

Ah, my apologies, Stitchawl is near enough. It was -89.2 C.

pdurrant · 01-13-2013, 09:53 AM

Wow. Cold enough for the CO2 in the atmosphere to precipitate out of the air.
