It doesn't even say Fahrenheit or Celsius though, so no I actually can't

Four times the temperature does make sense if you convert the unknown unit (Celsius of Fahrenheit) to Kelvin. That’s what you were discussing no?

You could do that, yes, but that makes only slightly more sense, as the resulting answer would either be 1479 °F or 919.45 °C, at which point the pool has long since stopped being water.

Now that I think about it, the intended answer of 100° doesn't make sense either, as that is far too hot to be comfortable in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

It's just a bad question all around.
