  Though cold water may usually freeze faster than warmer water, that hot 
water CAN
freeze faster than cooler water is an established fact.  What's not so 
established
is, "Why?"  The link I posted earlier was to an article published by the 
University
of California, Department of Physics, written in Nov, 1998.
  You can Google literally hundreds of universities, research institutes and
scientific journals that have published on this subject.  Here are just three:

University of Alaska, Fairbanks, March 5, 1984

Georgia State University, Department of Physics and Astronomy
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/thermo/freezhot.html

And the granddaddy of science for many of us, Scientific American, October 21, 
1998
