According to Newton's Law, the rate of cooling is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surrounds. This is the same decay law as for a first order chemical reaction, or for radioactive decay, and the theoretical time for the process to go to completion is infinity.

So no wonder you have been waiting five hours for an answer. There isn't one.
