And you are wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremes_on_Earth

"Hottest inhabited place Dallol, Ethiopia, whose annual mean temperature was recorded from 1960 to 1966 as 34.4 °C (93.9 °F).[34] The average daily maximum temperature during the same period was 41.1 °C (106.0 °F).[35]"

25 isn't at all extreme period. Plenty of people living in cold climates in recent history have had no access to space heaters and coal, and they weren't exactly sitting around a fire 24/7 either.

I prefer hot over cold and when I first saw the question I was leaning towards taking the heat. But given the stats of where people have actually survived and considering there are people ITT saying it would be a close decision if the cold was as much as 50 degrees colder, and nobody saying it would be an easy decision at 110-120, it's obvious this question is lopsided and I don't know why people are still arguing for the far more extreme option.

People keep saying this. It's not true.

Yeah, I did a poor job of wording that one. It should have sounded more like:

If it's DC area, then rent yourself a fricking horse stable in Virginia. four horses in a barn will raise the temp 20 degrees.
add in running hot water, and it'll feel practically toasty.

Lol, that's not what I meant. I know what you were saying.

It's just that, in your brain, a last longer bet would be easier if the length of time is LONGER - that's what baffles me.

That could literally never be true.
