The Mpemba effect is the subject of significant controversy. Here is an example of an experiment that failed to demonstrate such an effect:

I myself attempted a simplistic experiment in high school that failed to demonstrate the Mpemba effect.
It is reasonable to assume that if a sample of hot water and a sample of cold water are subjected to the same cooling process, the initially hot water will end up slightly warmer and therefore melt sooner.
