infinity below zero watch out
no but -1 degrees

You need to use an absolute temperature scale like rankine or kelvin.
Assuming that is 0 degrees F that correlates to 255 K
We need to figure out what twice as cold means also. I would say that if it's half the the temperature then it's twice as cold.
That means it would be: 255 K /2 = 127.5 K which is -233.77 F
Quite a drop huh?

"Twice as cold" doesn't really have any meaning. (Neither does "half the temperature, if the temperature is zero - half of zero is zero.) Whoever is asking the question doesn't understand physics.

I was going to say "You'd have to approach that logically rather than mathematically," but I realised that there is no logical way really of answering that.
I have however found a couple of these websites which may help:

There really is no simple method. :(
Sorry! Bethan. x
