100 for radio trivia
As Dara said on QI It's 0 but that is the triple point. Stephen Fry says its 100, you pays your money and you takes your choice
Celcius' original scale used 0 for the boiling point and 100 for the freezing point. The scale was revised by Linnaeus 2 years later, into the form we use today.
In 1742, Anders Celsius (1701-1744) created an inverted centigrade temperature scale in which 0 represented the boiling point of water (373.15 K) and 100 represented the freezing point (273.15 K). Several years later, someone suggested inverting the Celsius scale and it has been 0 freezing and 100 boiling ever since.
100 is the correct answer for the radio trivia.

GREAT QUESTION. Well, in the 18th century water froze at a lower temperature than today. So it was less than -7 Degrees.
