It will melt faster when crushed provided they are in the same place and environment. To melt the ice the warmth of higher temperature must first get into the ice, obviously it gets in faster to the crushed ice which mass is lesser than the whole cube. Thus it makes the melting time longer with a larger volume.♥

It will melt faster as a cube. Because once crushed it is no longer in the form of a cube. So therfore it doesn't matter how fast it will melt crushed.

Crushed. A small piece of ice melts quicker than a larger one

Crushed. More surface areas for the warmer temperatures to work against and smaller ice pieces to hold the cold.

definitely crushed, a cube ice have more density which in fact needs more time to melt.

It will melt faster when crushed. More surface area.

Crushed of course, more surface area exposed to heat.

Crushed as you have melted part of it already =)
