I'm going to throw two scenarios at you.
Either way, you're captured and brought to some crazy place. Your captors strip you naked and ask you to choose one of two rooms - you will die in one of them, regardless of your choice.
Room 140 - This room is a sweltering 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). You will slowly burn to death. There will be no access to food or drink.
Room 14 - This room is a chilling 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius). You will gradually freeze to death. There will be no access to food or drink.
If you gotta go, what's the way to go?
By the way, if anyone has some scientifics to add to the room descriptions, please provide.

[sub]The cold room. You would be numb after awhile, whereas the hot room would suck.[/sub]
Definately room 140. 140 isn't actually that hot that it would burn you to death, is it? The cold room would just cause pain and suffering for me, and the hot room would just seem to make me sweat and breathe hard.
In the cold room you would get frostbite (Assuming you're naked :/) and freeze to the floor which would really suck. I'd like to point out two things. At 14 degrees it would take you a real long time to die (8 hours, if you're lucky) in the hot room you would eventually passout I believe, and would actually die within an hour or 2, though it'd be a very unpleasent first hour.
Hard decsion, nice title though.
Thanks for putting celsius or I would have had to convert. I'll probably go in the cold room since I'm more used to -10 degrees and my corps would be preserved for a bit so they can burry me (if they are nice enough to do so) Whereas the hot room, my body will be all nasty.
-10 can make you freeze to death now?
Can I choose room 75? XD
But seriously, I would take room 140, pass out = no pain XD.
And for a corpse, it's alright, I don't intend on being there for very long. It'll still be recoverable.
Room 140. Being that I can sit fine in a sauna of that temperature for 3 hours without getting thirsty I think I'd survive lnog enoguh to have some fun. Then passout and die comfortably.

May I ask you if you read the scenarios?
Of course it would make you freeze to death. You are naked.
Oh, I missed that part, in that case I'd prefer the 60 degree room.
14. I'm more comfortable in cold then in heat

.
140 room. definately.
You're naked. Frosty aint good for your skin.
I go with 14; I usually can stand the cold for awhile

.
I've been in saunas before, and they're really only uncomfortable once you start getting dehydrated. After awhile, you start feeling light headed. I'm sure if I'd stayed in there, I would have passed out eventually. I'd pick the hot room. I'd rather be too hot than too cold when I die. Plus, it's hard to breathe when it's too cold.
you'd pass out if it was cold too... besides. they are both deathifying. you'll survive the cold room if you keep exersizing.

But my wang would shrivel up in the cold. If someone finds my body after I've died, I want them to have an accurate picture of what a man I was. HOT ROOM!
humans are so picky on what temperature to live on...not too hot or too cold but just right...i might choose freezing though,
in scientific theories...wouldn't freezing someone preserve them until someone thaws you?i mean when frozen, everything like blood cells and liquid and stuff is just frozen...they think this would be a way to skip to the future of instead of living in the present. sorry if this is off topic

Room 140.
Simply because I'd pass out sooner and you don't feel the shivering cold on your skin, all you feel is dehydration and loss of sugar.
It's almost painless, you'd start loosing consciousness because you burn energy much quicker at 140 than 14. At 14, your heart will pump much slowly and you'll breathe in longer intervals.
I didn't read any posts after it. So my initial response would be, the colder one. Cause I'll eventually fall asleep, and not wake up.
Well, I'd choose the 14 degree room and then go to the thermostat and turn it up to 70 degrees. And just incase there was no thermostat I'd bring a bunch of fur coats adn hats and mittens and boots and all those fun things to keep you warm. And I could find a way to get a drink. I'd turn the termperature really cold and then breathe on all the walls. Then turn the temperature up again and lick the walls to get water. Loophole.

a thing on no food anyway...you'll just end up starving to death, unless you have the clothing as food but you'll eventually run out or die from boredem.
and i guess the 14 degrees room wouldn't be cold enough to preserve a body?

Well, I got ways of finding food. But they're not age appropriate for this site.
It depends what the rooms are made of.
Wood -> Hot
Metal -> Cold
Scalding is no fun.
Why would you want metal for the cold room? Metal absorbs temperature and will remain FREEZING.
I'm guessing both rooms would be made out of a drywall substance.
