But ambiguity arraises from the lack of a coherent explanation, because there are so many parameters to consider when doing the experiment (especially when doing this with water). Therefore hot liquids can freeze faster than cold ones. Its not a must. That it can happen is proven. A quite entertaining read about the general phenomenon can be found here
No, it doesn’t. The ambiguity rises from the fact that it’s not that repeatable. There are many experiments that don’t find this phenomenon to exist when they test it. Then there’s some that do. That’s the problem.
My memory is that the majority of them find that it doesn’t exist and that a small minority find that it does.
Hot liquids can freeze faster than colder ones Mpemba effect
Similarly, hot water for ice cubes, room temperature for thawing. I’ve heard adding white vinegar accelerate thawing but idk?
Many studies of this are actually ambiguous!.

This is not contradicting. It can happen . but I was talking about liquids in general.
Looking this up, I just realized that Francis Bacon and Roger Bacon were different people.
Knowledge is power. France is bacon.
