Hotter and hotter (Posted on 2010-02-08) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Today is Saturday. For the last 5 days, Monday to Friday, the temperatures were rising, i.e. each day was hotter than the previous one. The product of the 5 values (Centigrade degrees, rounded to the closest integer) is 12. What are the five temperatures?

Technically, if the parentheses were describing the product, it would be (Centigrade degrees)^5, so based on that, I think it's a safe assumption that Ady meant the individual daily values. Otherwise, we would not be limited to one solution, and this problem would be somewhat pointless.
