    auslander is right the answer is somewhere between -130 and -140 so i think -136 is as close as you can get it might be 100% correct not sure about that.

    Question: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What is the total?

    scoll down to see the correct answer, coz if u did'nt use a calculator u got it wrong





























    Answer: 5000? Wrong again! The correct answer is 4100.

    0 degrees C = 32 degrees F. 1/2 of 32 = 16. To convert from C to F, the equation is (9/5 xC degrees) + 32. To convert the other way it is 5/9 (F degrees-32). Any questions?

    You are close, Xbox. It is actually 122 degrees F.

    i said about 120 meaning it might be a couple out and 2degrees doesnt make much difference.

    You are correct. It is hot, and you wouldn't feel the 2 degrees difference. :)
