Yes it does

Yes it does. The why has been explained already, but to add to it - hot water evaporates quickly when put in the freezer, thus creating ice that is less dense than that frozen from cold water. You will get less ice from the same amount of water if you freeze it hot.

Yes, hot water will freeze faster than cold water. It does this because the molecules used in hot water, basically speaking, don't like each other and thus will not stay close to each other, thereby making it easier for the water to condense into ice. Cold water is already condensed and harder to freeze because of the condensed state it's in.

I've heard that said for years! Some how, I've never believed it. Cold water is closer to the freezing point than hot, and it seems to me that it would reach that point sooner. It would be interesting to put this to a test some time, I've just never done so.

yes.....cold water the molecules are already moving slow and packed together.....to lower their temp they continue to move slow
where hot water exposed to cold has the heat drawn away at such a rapid rate the molecules slow quickly
its why when your doors are frozen shut you should never use hot water to dethaw them....as the water will just melt its way in and refreeze faster than you can get the door open. cold water over time will unfreeze a car door and not refreeze right away

Yes but it goes through many more changes than the cool water. If you do it usually you'll see cracks in the middle of the ice were the water cooled down extremely fast.

No, it doesn't. That's an old wive's tale/urban legend. The hot water has more heat to lose, which takes more time.

no ..it will take the hot water longer to get to the freezing temp. than the cold..

No, But it comes out much clearer! Good for the ol' bug in cube gag.
