It was noon on a cold December day in Tampa: 15°C. Detective Taylor arrived at the crime scene to find the sergeant leaning over the body. The sergeant said there were several suspects. If they knew the exact time of death, then they could narrow the list. Detective Taylor took out a thermometer and measured the temperature of the body: 34.4°C. He then left for lunch at noon. Upon returning at 1:00 PM, he found the body temperature to be 33.7°C. When did the murder occur? [Hint: Normal body temperature is 37°C.] The time of death is approximately hours before noon. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
