The exact answer to the question, why did the hot water freezes faster than cold, still does not exist. Maybe it's the difference in the supercooling, evaporation, ice formation, convection, or the reason for the impact of diluted gases at the hot and cold water.



The water that burns
There is a dangerous water. For example, in Azerbaijan there is water in which a lot of methane, so it can catch fire if exposed to a match. And in Sicily in one of lakes has underwater acid sources which poison all the water in this reservoir.
