Am no expert, Mr Google says:
Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions. This phenomenon is extremely counterintuitive, and surprising even to most scientists, but it is in fact real. ... The phenomenon that hot water may freeze faster than cold is often called the Mpemba effect.
