Mike Google "Mpemba effect" I suspect it's BS. Most of the explanations are undercut by the fact that there is no such thing as thermal inertia. It doesn't matter how fast the initial cooling is, the warmer water still has to pass through the temperature of the cooler water, which it will do later and never catch up. It's also almost impossible to test precisely because the point of being totally frozen is hard to detect.
