This question has puzzled me for a long time and there have been many kinds of answer for it. The most sensible explanation I have heard is this one. http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/33026/40382
But then I found another explanation at http://shows.howstuffworks.com/brainstuff/hot-water-freeze-faster-video.htm and http://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/hot-water-freezes-faster-cold-and-now-we-know-why
Here's the original paper : http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.6514
Can anyone shed some light on what is the correct explanation of the Mpemba effect?
