Passage Summary: It is colder in Taychester than in Charlesville, but people in Charlesville pay more for heat.

Reasoning: Taychester is consistently at least 10 degrees colder than Charlesville, yet Charlesville residents spend significantly more on winter heating.

Analysis: The paradox lies in the inverse relationship between temperature and cost. Usually, colder weather necessitates higher bills, but here the warmer town pays more. It seems Charlesville residents are paying a premium for their 'warmer' weather; perhaps they are all living in drafty mansions while Taychester folks are huddled in high-efficiency homes. Look for an answer that explains why the cost of staying warm isn't just about the thermometer reading, such as differences in fuel prices or insulation.
