curious fact of the day

[joggerjayne]

I would post this in Science, but then nobody would see it.

Here's a fact.

I read this, and tried it ... and it's true ...

Very hot water freezes into ice faster than cold water!

Try this.

Boil a kettle.

Fill an ice tray with hot, boiled water.

Fill another ice tray with cold water.

Put them in the freezer.

Although the cold water had a ''head start'', the hot water turns into ice FIRST !!

Why ???????

This is not a fluke. It works every time.

I too would love a huge american fridge...but it would be bigger than my kitchen,it would hold more food-hence I would eat more....and then get fat. So-no way!

it's called the Mpemba effect Jayne, there has never been any conclusive proof of why it happens though.
