Question

The temperature was 68°F. Later that day the temperature was 82°F. How much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the original temperature of 68°F?

Answer 1

The answer is that the temperature needs to fall 14 degrees to return to the original temperature of 68 degrees BUT ONLY IF the temperature at the time of the calculation is in fact 82 degrees. The question does not state that. The question merely states that "Later that day the temperature was 82 degrees." Beware of trick questions.
