Quest Giggle Questions
Science

How cold are the LHC's magnets kept?

271 degrees C below zero. Only at that chill do the magnets go superconducting and carry current with zero resistance.

How close would your guess have been?

In the game we ask it like this: “CERN chills its collider magnets to how many degrees C below zero?”

Type a number — scored exactly the way a round in the game is.

The answer

271degrees C below zero
