Fel wins the 11k Challenge. We were looking for the first entry to post a score better than 11,000, and his TLM @ -256.15 ºC did the trick. With a score of 10999.2, it just cleared the wire, but that’s all it takes to win.

He added in a note that the entry should have been titled -262.15 ºC, but as we can fully understand, he was typing very quickly, knowing that victory might escape him. Now can anybody tell me what happens at -262.15 ºC?

Congratulations Fel!

   0 K = -273.15 °C
   11 K = -262.15 °C
   i guess :)

   Ah! Very good! I was trying to work out the liquefaction temperature of various gases, and it was getting me nowhere. Thanks for the insight.
