Temperature twins
There should be some mathematics on this blog :-) I am still waiting for a solution to this question I asked in class: Modeling the earth as a sphere, and assuming temperature varies continuously on its surface, show there are two antipodal (i.e. opposite) points on the Earth's surface with the same temperature. (Two students came close but didn't push through to the end.)
