A Science Question about Water Boiling and Freezing

[curling]

Does room temp water really boil faster than if you use hot water out of the tap? I heard yes, but I don't believe it. Also I have heard hot water freezes faster than cold water. That makes no sense either.

no, hot water doesn't freeze faster than cooler water, and room temp water doesn't boil faster than hot water. It is all a matter of joules of energy to excite the molecules in the case of boiling water... Before I go on, are you serious?


Where is Mr. Wizard? Samoth? LOL.

They freeze at the same time. It has to do with density. I ran the tests myself in school once.
People swear hot water freezes faster. Then again fat women think wearing black makes them look smaller too.

Don't get on technical on my heather. Which one boils faster the room temp water or the hot water? And dang yes I am serious I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't now would I?

what boils faster, curling when his wife spends $700 on knives or curling when his daughter racks up a $200 cell phone bill?
