    The hot one and in my guess it's due to the rising condensation due to evaporation. Science has not completely answered this.

    I think the thorys right,

    Neither...you put them in the fridge not the freezer.

    Now THAT is scientific! LOL!!!

    The cold one....the water will more quickly get down to the freezing point since it is already ahead of (temperature wise) the hot one.

    Nope. One would think so about the cold water but it's true that hot water freezes faster. No one knows for sure why so it's called a phenomenon. :)

    Only when the Mpemba effect has taken place and that doesn't always happen. So, I conclude therefore, that SOMETIMES the cold freezes faster and SOMETIMES the hot freezes faster!
    (Do I sound like a scientifically intelligent duck now...or still just like a mad duck?)
    LOL...I hate being proven (semi) wrong! :)
