A cold room getting hotter

A hot room getting colder?

Details:

You have to be trapped in one of two rooms:

Room 1 starts out at 50 degrees below 0 and the temperature INCREASES by one degree each minute, until it reaches 150 degrees.

Room 2 starts out at 150 degrees and the temperature DECREASES by one degree each minue, reaching -50 by the end.

Temperatures are measured in Fahrenheit.

Note that you are only trapped in each room for 3 hours, 20 minutes.

You are wearing just a t-shirt and jeans - but can have a blanket, also.

Both rooms are totally empty.

Maybe this wasn't everybody's favorite question, because most people said it wouldn't matter either way. Except maybe John Cliver, who seemed excited about it when I saw him, now there's an enthusiastic guy. I didn't vote because I really don't have a preference, but if I were to vote I would choose the first option, but it will win without me.

Comments: well, in the hot room you are going to sweat, ALOT, so i think that it would be better to be cold and dry and eventually get hot and sweaty, than to start out hot and sweaty and have all that sweat freezing on me as the room grew colder. it would just feel too nasty.

Comments: In the initially hot room, you can lay out the blanket so it gets as warm as it is going to get. After the temp begins to drop, wrap yourself in the warm blanket. The blanket in combination with your body heat will keep you warm until the thing is over with.

Choice: Cold room getting hotter
Comments: Well all I have to say to justify my position is that if I was in a room that hot I'm sure I would sweat and I wouldn't want that sweat freezing on my skin. Also before it froze your clothes would still be soaked and if you've ever gotten wet in below freezing temperatures you know it sucks. If it was cold first then you could just strip as it got hotter.... you know just as I am doing now. Boy it's hot in here..........

Choice: Cold room getting hotter
Comments: Well, the problem with a hot room getting colder is that you get all sweaty at first and then it gets cold and your blanket gets all sweaty and the sweat gets cold on your face and its just nasty. I say, start cold and who knows maybe a polar bear will wander in and you can snuggle up to him.

Name: Bonnie
Choice: Cold room getting hotter
Comments: I hate being cold, at least this way I would have something to look forward to. Also if you were hot first you would get all sweaty and then the sweat would get your clothes all wet and they wouldn't do a good job of keeping you warm later.

Name: Kim---> Shaneequa'a other half
Choice: Hot room getting colder
Comments: I would not want to be in either because I would be dead in either room. But I would take the room getting colder because I would rather freeze to death than melt.... plus I would take a blanket and have a possibilty of surviving

Name: Noremac
Choice: Cold room getting hotter
Comments: Well either one is going to be unpleasant. But I would rather start at my normal body temp and go into a below freezing cold room than have my body cool off. I would wrap myself tight in the blankie and keep running around singing It's a Small World After All to keep me warm(with the running and the fact that my blood would boil cause I would want to go and kill all of those little electronic children on that stupid ride) and my mind preoccupied. Then as the temp warmed up a bit I could remove the blankie, then my shirt, then my jeans until I was running around naked as the day I was born and just as happy...oops that was probably too much info huh? Well it is too late now cause I have clicked the submit button.
