Ice cream is an emulsion with not only various minerals but many different organic compounds like fats and proteins which can change their structure irreversibly when heated up. Pure water heated up to 100 degrees and cooled back down is virtually indistinguishable from water that was never heated up in the first place. Try boiling ice cream and then cooling it back down, it'll never look like ice cream again.

    The original story even says "to ensure he had a spot, he put his ice cream in while hot" ie earlier than everyone else. So his hot ice cream had time to be cooled down by the freezer before everyone else could put their cooled down ice cream in. If that time was long enough to be cooled below room temperature, then it would have frozen faster.

So there was cool ice cream and hot ice cream at the same time in the freezer, and then the hot one freezed faster.

    Funny, my wife and I tested this theory this winter (Northern Michigan). We had been talking about hot vs cold freezing for some time ago. We woke up one saturday to find it was -10F (-23C) outside and decided to put two equal glass 2cup measuring cups full of water outside, one hot, one cold. Filled both with tap water, the hottest it would go, and the other with the coldest it would go. Sat them both outside and watched through the window. The cold water cup froze what appeared to be a couple minutes faster. Nothing scientific, just personal observation. We figured doing the test outside, there would be less chance of being off by the freezer temp slightly rising from hot water, and having to pump to get the freezer temp back. Outside would remove that variable, and any variable of the cup sitting next to another frozen object. Both cups were in the shade, and about 3ft apart from each other.

    But did you consider that maybe the warm cup was being heated from the presence of the cold cup (which was warmer than ambient temperature) in such close proximity, and thus caused the warm cup to freeze slower? Nah, jokes and science aside, it sounds like you two have a cool marriage. (Maybe because the marriage was hot at the start?)

    The problem with your experiment is you used thick glass to encapsulate both bodies of water, and therefor the temperature retention (thermal mass) of the glass continued to affect both bodies of water after they were placed outside. IOW the thermal mass of the hot glass kept the water inside from freezing as fast as it could have. You would have done better to put the two bodies of water in thin plastic bags for a more accurate result. And after what Will Smith did to Chris Rock the other night at the Oscars, I won't dare make any jokes which involves your significant other, but will just commend you both for being able to endure Northern Michigan winters together. ☺

    The only instance of that I've personally seen was when my grandmother would splash water across the porch (because the duck pooped on it again). But that was a very large concrete porch, and the water spread way out, causing a huge amount of surface area per volume, so it's possible in that instance that most of the hot water could've evaporated, vs only a small percentage of the cold. (It definitely did make a big cloud of steam)

    This reminds me of something I've heard about Ice melting in salt water. Normally you'd expect it to melt faster with saline content. But because it dilutes the upper layers of the water, makes it less dense, so there's less mixing going on than there would be otherwise, had it melted in pure water. This thin upper layer of less dense water would gradually become cooler as the ice melts, which in turn makes it harder to melt more ice. It's a weird thermohaline balancing act. Without this, the artic ice probably would've been dramatically smaller now.

    @CG Account He didn't say it was real. He said, "According to the Mpemba effect..." which is accurate. In other words, it's like an optical illusion -- real in a sense, but not real in another sense. I didn't feel misled at all. The storytelling needed that mystery to draw the viewer in and I thought the explanation at the end was satisfying, though his, "Here's what I think..." was egocentric, as if he came up with the solution on his own, which he's done more than once. Scientists, not him, did the hard work and found that the Mpemba effect is not replicable every time and that anomalies cause it. But I appreciate his bringing us these fascinating science factoids/facts/findings.

Then we have the facts that super cooling and crystallization is not well understood, as pointed out in here, so is clearly not easy to tell what resonant waves are doing in water. It is a stretch to claim they don't do something as it is to claim they do, however, the crystallization mystery points at that in some circumstances they do...

Thermodynamics does not say water have to have memory. In fact, if water would have memory (despite of the fact that it cannot be demonstrated), it would go against homeopathy. Because then water would have memory of absolutely everything it touches, which would make example tap water homeopathic product for and against millions of things. Also super cooling and crystallization are quite well understood, and more over nothing to do with memory of water. Not even water.

We all assumed that he was lying because he wanted the attention.

    Well my guess is that with hot water the molecules are moving around more frequently with greater intensity than that of cold water. Whilst the cold water is more calm and still. So I guess that with more moving molecules the water has more overall chance of finding a site to crystallize at. With water that already cold and thus more still would have less chances to find a site for crystallizing.

    Known about this topic for 35 years and your presentation is great. Made me ask the question about the consistancy of "energy density??" through out the ice. Wonder if the experiment was continued and the beakers were placed in a 70 Deg F room, would they have different thaw rates. Also how does thermal conduction vary with the density of the ICE? Is the ice density different depending on the rate of freezing? The ice cream observation is easily explained by the cooling of each sample during the wait time between the first and last samples to be put in the freezer. If the difference in wait time was 30 minutes, the sample in the freezer for the additional 30 minutes would obviously be at a lower temperature than the one that sat a room temperature during this wait period.

    Cold water never boils. It has to get hot before it will boil. To prove this for yourself, put some water in the refrigerator and some water in a kettle on the stovetop and turn it on (don’t forget to turn it on). The water on the stovetop will boil if you turn the heat up high enough. The water in the refrigerator will not boil unless there’s something wrong with your refrigerator. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level. That’s hot, not cold. I have just used many words to say something that could have been said in one short sentence. I could have used bigger fancier words and it would have been just as dumb. Now I’ll explain why hot water never freezes. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level. That is cold, not hot. In conclusion, cold water doesn’t boil. Hot water doesn’t freeze.

    Well it seems to me to be result of an out side source much less than heat plus water cools faster its possibly a combination of multiple easy to reach scenarios to attribute this effect. Instead one explicit answer futher study may yield that for example just spit balling that going to a high/varying pressure; source heated water to a low pressure source a fridge may yield results. Or bubbles increasing top surface increase surface area may freeze faster. Or even better yet what the last study cited that in the direct center doesnt actually change faster just it is perceived since the out side solidify faster. But when you average out the heat then disproves it. Other wise super cooling may actually be the key to the answer. Im no expert by any means but brushing it off weither its true or not isn't going yield a explanation what actually happened

    the problem is that you basically start the timer for number 1 as soon as you take it off fire, so number 2 should freeze two minutes after number 1 since they both experienced the same source of heat. if number 2 freezes before number 1, then you might need to question the experiment, because wtf changed? air speed? temperature? how does H2O at 100c cools down faster then H2O at 100c that has been out for 2 minutes? would number 1 freeze faster if you heated it back up again to 95C while number 2 was nearing 90c? Aristotle was a very clever man, but his methods were bound to be slightly wrong, physics says Energy in = Energy out.. unless you add or subtract energy. the idea of hot water freezing faster then cold water invites the idea of a perpetual motion machine.

    The Mpemba effect can only be observed in the right circumstances. At its core, surface area is the main component allowing this effect to take place. Due to a processed called convection, as hot water is chilled, the warm water in the center of the beaker rises to the top of the beaker creating physical movement. The longer this process goes the more it speeds up at a comparably exponential rate. This causes more and more surface area, of the water, to be exposed. However, many other factors can prevent this exponential-flow-process, such as obstructions or even how the beaker is made. Cold water is slow to start this process of convection due, in part, by the fact the water molecules in the cold water are less disrupted by the cold temperatures. This is only my understanding. Edit: I also wanted to add. The best way to cool a constantly heated item is by passing hydrogen molecules over its surface area. Factors such as how cold the hydrogen particles are make little difference in cooling the item. The main component is the passing over of the hydrogen Molecules. So in relation the the mpemba effect; As more and more convection takes place, more and more water is exposed to hydrogen molecules.

    I learned something from it, the 5 ways of explaining it was actually pretty cool, I knew before that the more heat an object has it loses that heat energy faster(That been like comparing 2000 down to 1000 and 1000 down to 0, the speed of two material cooling down the same amount of Celsius but one with higher temperature will cool faster), but the hot water thing is something I know but don't understand exactly how and why it works like that, simply because u can't possibly under the same condition having a thing that has more heat energy than another one, and have them both cool down to a certain amount of heat energy. So this video did help, it is also good to know. Btw, Scientists are pretty BS at times like this, because you simply can't prove it, therefore the conclusion is it doesn't exist... Yet... When you can it is true, no matter how stupid it seems. Also any effect might one day come in handy, and when you think about this, if people can spend years talking about toilet paper orientation, and where to start eating a banana, I don't see a problem with people trying to explain and uncover the truth behind a thousand years old question that is very interesting and hard.

    Moving the thermocouple aka a temperature sensor didnt cause the water to freeze at a different rate. They put it in the beaker to see if there were any convection currents present, basically just hot water and cold water mixing to "stir" the water in essence. We don't have any type of sensor to really measure water flow on such a tiny scale in existence although they could've just put a drop of dye. They mentioned the beakers were sealed in some tests and even a drop of dye could fudge the experiment so probably why they didnt try that. Also has to be introduced at the right time otherwise it'll just mix before the water finishes boiling...

    Since the Mpemba effect happens along a curve, the cooling starts to happen quickly then slows down until it freezes. Also, since it happens along a curve, any temperature along the same curve still follow the same pattern. It's just that the ratio of temperature to speed of cooling is directly proportional.

    hypotesis 6: as we all know when water freezes it's volume increases. Now, given that hot water has molecules more distant from each other, if we take an hot sample and we decrease it's temperature fast enough so that the water molecules won't have enough time to move as close to each other as they would be in a cold water sample, then the freezing would happen faster than in a cold water sample, in which you would need for the water molecules to gain distance from each other in order to freeze. it would also help to explain why by simply moving the thermocouple you would see or not see the mpemba effect. thoughts?

    I don't understand the reason for Mpemba effect not existing after all. Even if there was a study which showed that warm water doesn't freeze faster than cool water it doesn't rule out all these experiments which agreed that there's something like Mpemba effect. It just shows that Mpemba effect might need some additional conditions. The condition might be that cool water was poured to the container, then the other water was boiled and only then poured to another container. So the boiling water was moving more than the cool water and thus the states of waters were not the same. That's probably wrong but it's just an example of a condition for boiling water to freeze faster. The argument about measuring the temperature in different places also don't satisfy me because how improbable would it be for everyone to luckily measure both waters in such spots so that it appeared that the effect takes place. And lastly, I don't think it would break the laws of thermodynamics. It wouldn't mean that water has memory of its earlier states. It would only mean that we're only considering the temperature of the water and not other properties like directions of every molecule. So the water has no memory but contains more information than we assume.

    I am no professor in thermodynamics or physics in general, but don't some elements have better conductivity? Like for example copper vs aluminum. I know these are different elements, but let me get to my point. Probably different states of elements release heat faster than others. In this case it's room temperature water vs hot water, which have different energies, so wouldn't it be logical that the hot water releases its energy (heat) faster? When I was a kid, I used to put hot water and cold water in an unsealed ice tray in the freezer and always when I checked on them, the hot water was frozen solid, while the cold water was liquid in the middle and has a layer of ice on the outside. My theory might be wrong, but I want to learn / understand, so easy with the political correct answers / replies. Thanks !

Due to so many things affecting the actual point of state change, there are literally a fractal's worth of possibilities. It is one of those tricky things that is a little more difficult to picture than it is to describe and is therefore more difficult to comprehend through non-mathematical (non-statistical) means. It doesn't help that water in general does not like to behave consistently on the molecular level. It is very prone to influences that are difficult to negate/control.

    I did not expect that twist at the end to be honest :)) I always thought about this effect at a molecular level by considering movement. The molecules in water move around more than the ones in cold water so there's a higher chance of them reaching the sides of the container and lose their kinetic energy by colliding with lower moving, lower temperature molecules. There's also a higher chance of hot water meeting cold water and loosing it's energy this way. It seemed to make sense to me since I usually stir my tea to make it cool faster. Or at least that's what I thought until now anyway.

    Certainly hot tea will feel colder than room temperature if you touch it once it has cooled. However, this is because water is a good conductor of heat whereas air is not - this means that air feels warmer than tea (mainly water) even if they are at the same temperature. A good comparison is holding both a metal hole punch and a book, one in each hand - they are at the same temperature (room temperature), but the hole punch feels colder because it takes heat from your hand faster. The same occurs with tea compared to air and other standard domestic items. Very good question - had me thinking then! :-)

    i dont know why, but i VIVIDLY remember a TV show(a "science" show of dubios quality iirc) i watched as a kid that explained it so that hot water (warm nto hot tbf) froze faster becasue the molecules in the hot water had more energy, and thus could reach their crystal structure faster then cold, less energetic water molecules it made sense as a kid and i never questioned it...

    I did this as a kid by throwing cups of water in the air. The water from the cold cup would just splash in the snow but the hot water cup would form into small ice balls before it hit the ground. This was up in northern canada where it gets -50 -60C no problem.

    That sort of reminds me of the joke about a Catholic priest, a Protestant pastor and a Rabbi discussing on how donations should be used. Edit: and that's neat that that happened, maybe chaos theory has some insight on this.
