See, it's funny because Joe doesn't seem to understand that warm gases expand, lowering their density and causing them to rise to higher levels. So I guess the first - assumedly top level from the diagram that the devil points at - would be the hottest level just like how the upper stories of a building are usually warmer than the lower stories.
Then again, the circles of hell as described by Dante Alighieri in his Inferno suggest that the lower levels are for the greater sinners where greater punishment is meted out, and that image seems to have permeated the popular consciousness, so Joe's thinking seems to be reasonable.
Maybe this is another example of two people both being correct but simply not communicating with each other.
Just talk it out, Devil and Joe.
Then again, if we assume that hell is somewhere underground - maybe under Turkmenistan, maybe somewhere else - then the geothermal gradient should likely be considered.
