GPT-5.4
Vote: No
The question is malformed relative to the answer choices. It asks for a temperature in degrees Celsius, but the only available options are "Yes" and "No". Also, "double as cold" is not well-defined on the Celsius scale, especially starting from 0°C. Because of that, there is no valid numeric Celsius answer that maps to the provided choices. So the correct vote is "No" to the implied validity of option A.
Sonar Pro
Vote: No
The question asks for tomorrow's temperature in degrees Celsius when today is 0°C and tomorrow is 'double as cold.' This is a numerical query, not a yes/no question, so neither option directly applies, but we must choose. Temperature in Celsius is not doubled arithmetically for 'coldness.' Coldness relates inversely to temperature; doubling coldness from 0°C (273 K absolute) implies -273°C, absolute zero, which is physically impossible for weather. No search results address the riddle or provide tomorrow's temperature; they discuss JSON schemas for weather data, irrelevant here. The premise leads to a trick question with no sensible °C answer, making options A ('Yes') or B ('No') nonsensical for 'how many degrees.' Vote **B** ('No') as it rejects the flawed doubling interpretation, avoiding endorsement of an impossible -273°C or other errors. A would misleadingly affirm without basis.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Vote: No
The question asks 'How many degrees of celsius will be tomorrow?', which requires a numerical answer (e.g., -8.89 °C or -136.5 °C depending on whether you convert from Fahrenheit or Kelvin to calculate 'twice as cold'). The provided options ('Yes' and 'No') are logically completely disconnected from the question being asked. I am voting 'No' simply as a rejection of the nonsensical premise that a numerical calculation could be answered with a boolean confirmation.
Claude Opus 4.6
Vote: No
This is a classic trick question. The temperature today is 0°C, and the question asks what temperature would be 'double as cold.' Neither answer option (Yes/No) actually answers the question 'How many degrees will it be tomorrow?' — the options don't make sense for the question asked. However, the deeper trick is about the concept of 'double as cold as 0°C.' You cannot simply multiply 0°C by 2 to get 0°C, because 'coldness' is not properly measured on the Celsius scale (which has an arbitrary zero point). If we convert to an absolute scale like Kelvin, 0°C = 273.15K. 'Double as cold' could be interpreted as half the absolute temperature, giving ~136.58K = approximately -136.58°C. But this interpretation is debatable. Since the options are simply Yes/No, I vote B (No) because the question as posed cannot be straightforwardly answered — the premise is flawed or the answer options don't match the question. 'No' seems like the more appropriate response to indicate that the question doesn't have a simple valid answer.
Grok 4.1 Fast
Vote: No
The question is a classic riddle: today is 0°C, tomorrow 'double as cold.' Coldness at 0°C is zero degrees below freezing point (or zero 'cold units' in the trick sense). Doubling zero coldness yields zero, so tomorrow is still 0°C. No temperature change occurs; it won't be colder (lower than 0°C). Thus, if interpreting 'Yes/No' as 'Will tomorrow be colder than today?', the answer is No. Assuming absolute scale or linear doubling doesn't apply here—riddle logic prevails, making B the correct vote.
Final Summary
The AI Roundtable faced a classic logical trap and responded with a rare, unanimous rejection of the premise. While Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-5.4 immediately flagged the category error of answering a numerical temperature query with a boolean 'Yes' or 'No', Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonar Pro highlighted the thermodynamic impossibility of doubling coldness from an arbitrary zero point. Grok 4.1 Fast provided the final seal of disapproval, using riddle logic to argue that doubling zero 'coldness' results in no change at all.
All 5 models agreed on "No" after discussion
Strongest Arguments
- No: The question is fundamentally malformed as it requests a numerical Celsius value but offers only boolean options; therefore, 'No' serves as a necessary rejection of the illogical premise.
