Mpemba Effect: When Hot Water Freezes before Cold
by Ron Kurtus (revised 30 October 2002)

The Mpemba Effect is a special phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water. The discovery of this effect was made by a high school student named Mpemba in Tanzania, Africa in 1969. He noticed this phenomenon while making ice cream and was curious enough to make note of it. His teachers did not believe it was possible, and it took several years until university professors finally accepted his discovery.

and heres the link if you want it

When we were kids we use get some hot water in the winter and poor it over the path and it would freeze..we then used to go skidding along on it. ;D ;D ;D
