About -136 degrees, assuming twice as cold equates to half as warm.

Really?

Is that a fahrenheit thing? say you weren't allowed convert?
Although thats probably silly.

1 degree kelvin = 1 degree celcius, but kelvin and celcius just start at different points. -275.15 celcius is absolute zero, the coldest you can get, this is called 0 degrees kelvin, so 0 degree celcius is 275.15 kelvin. twice as cold (or half as warm) would be half 275.15, roughly -137 degrees celsius.

Pedantry, but you'd have just plain kelvin, not degrees kelvin.
