challenge question #2

Through our research, Mrs. Min's 7th hour Robins have deciced that
robins will migrate with the 36 degree isotherm. We believe that if the
robin was on a colder isotherm, that the temperature would interfere
with the migratory process because it might be too cold for the robins.
The robins might occasionally stray from the 36 degree isotherm to
warmer temperature isotherms, but never to colder isotherms. According
to the Chicago Tribune, an eminent newspaper in the United States, all
the others claiming to have sighted robins in their area, have
temperatures in a 36 to 68 degree range.
