Hot water freezes faster then cold water?! Zomg i swear, if i hear one more person say it does im going to kill them. Has anyone here heard this myth? Does anyone actually believe it? Go test it out, ask people which freezes faster, i bet a few will say hot water does.

Same thing applies to cold water vs hot water when boiling. People think that cold will boil faster then hot. Why? I dont know. One of the great mysteries of life i guess...

I do hate when people say that and then try to argue their point. They usually make fools of themselves.

This is true. I think it because it looses its heat much faster because theres such an extreme differance.

cold.  So, depending on where you start and what the container is like, it
is common for hot water (or at least the part of the hot water that is
left after some evaporates) to freeze sooner than colder water.

I dont think its true with cold-boiling water though.

Maybe cause the hot water has less mass per volume than the cold water?

I dont know, physics is over, I dont have to think about that anymore.

Reb, Id love to read that, but again its the summer bro.

No, no it won't.

Take a basic Chemistry class. Most teachers throw in a lesson about this subject, and some (like mine) will prove it.
