Can't give you an exact number. The 20* will certainly add a lot to the 0*. if the two are stacked in such a way that both of their lofts are not compressed in any way it should be toasty.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Agreed. I would think it'd bring you down to at least -15 or 20. As a note, LeighLo has a pretty good video on stacking underquilts. Check out this page, half way down, under Stacking UQs for Deep Winter:

This thread from WhiteBlaze gives a formula that Pan from JRB provided.
Quote from thread linked above
x - ((70 - y)/2) = z
x = first bag (higher rated/lower degree)
y = second bag (lower rated/higher degree)
z = rating of doubled bags
Extra set of parenthesis to make it crystal clear that the x is not divided by 2, just the 70-y part. I think you're correct about the order of operations implying that anyway, but the parenthesis makes it clearer for anyone who hasn't had math in a while!
The formula gives what i was looking for and approximate -25* winter camping insulation. time to head out its suppose to be -10* on Wed.
