Cool guys, hot ladies

SCIENTISTS say women’s brains work better at higher temperatures while men thrive when the mercury is low.

The study, conducted in Germany, tested the ability of 500 men and women to perform a series of tasks at a variety of temperatures.

At higher temperatures, women perform better on maths and verbal tasks while the reverse is true for men.

For women, the increase in performance in warmer temperatures was “significantly larger” than the decrease in male performance.
