Now wait a minute.  Hot water evaporates, losing heat of evaporation and
cooling the remaining water.  Fine, I'll buy that.  But sooner or later
the hot water reaches the temperature of the cold water.  This takes some
amount of time.

Now, why does the previously hot water freeze faster from this point on?
