because its closer to being frozen than warmer water.

I'm not sure it does.
I remember reading somewhere that water that has been heated to expel disolved gases will actually freeze faster because the ice crystals form more easily.
Would be an interesting experiment to run.

Think about it, it would take a very long time for hot water to freeze. The colder the water is the closer it is to freezing point, the warmer water is the farther it is from freezing point.

I remember learning that warm water actually froze faster than cool water.

It takes less energy to slow already cool water molecules down to a solid than warmer water.

Water freezes at 0C.
If water is boiling (100C), energy is required to lower the temp of the water down to its freezing point.
If water is much cooler (say 20C), much less energy is required to cool it to 0C than the 100C water.

It relies upon on the temperature placing on your freezer and how many cases you open and close your freezer door....on an time-honored i think of it takes approximately an hour or 2, in specific situations particularly much less.....

actually, warmer water freezes faster.
