No. You need better references.
Jan 9, 2013 - Hot water freezing more quickly than cold water is known as the Mpemba effect. So, why does the Mpemba effect occur? First, all water evaporates, which means that the liquid (water) "disappears" and becomes a vapor, or gas. Hot water evaporates at a much faster rate than cold water.
How is that for a reference. Maybe it is you that needs to check your references:)
Only until the hot water becomes cold water.
At that point the loss of heat, down to the point odd freezing is the same
These thing always get taken out of context
Years ago, a fellow I worked for, said adding creme to coffee made the coffee hotter, because of a chemical reaction between the acid in the coffee and the sugars in the cream
Maybe this is true if both are at a controlled temp and you have an ultra fine temp probe
But it sure doesn't work that way with hot coffee and cold cream from the fridge
