------------

Cone numbers without the zero in front (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.): The higher the
number, the hotter the temperature.

Cone numbers with the zero (01, 02, 03, 04): The higher the number, the
cooler the temperature.

It might help if you mentally replace the zero in front of a cone number
with a minus sign. (i.e. 01 = -1, 04 = -4.)
