Title: A little teaser for you

Ok, I nicked it from another forum but I bet younger members will take a while to work it out. Enjoy :)

If you drop a two coins into two glasses of water one at 25C and one at 25F which reaches the bottom of the glass first?

25C will get there a fair few hours quicker, (25F is about 3.8888C, close enough to frozen...)

Yup, 25c is faster.

(I swear on my life that I worked it out before reading Kierens post)

Lol, and there was me thinking I could catch everyone out there!

On the forum that I nicked it from, they were discussing how a scratch card is being withdrawn because people were getting confused over whether a temperature of -8c is colder than -6c.
