1. True or False: Under specific circumstances, boiling water can freeze faster than water at room temperature. *This question is required.

Under specific circumstances, boiling water can freeze faster than water at room temperature.
Incorrect. The correct answer is TRUE.
Hot water freezes faster than cold water. Most experts say that, all things being equal, cold water freezes faster. However, things are not always equal. A curious phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect can, under some very specific (and poorly understood) circumstances, result in hot water freezing faster than cold water. One of the several possible explanations for this effect involves evaporation: if you start with extremely hot water, a good bit of it will evaporate (and a smaller quantity of water will freeze faster than a larger quantity). And so, according to chemists, this one is not a myth, and this is presumably what my high school chemistry assignment was getting at.
