Hey... I thought only smart people were supposed to read this thread! J/K


How about this:the most likely explanation is the water vapor carries away a certain amount of heat. when water cools down from near boiling to the freezing point, as much as 16 percent evaporates away, compared to 7 percent for water at 160 degrees. The smaller the amount of water, of course, the faster it freezes. The hotter the water, the faster it will freeze.
