Not a legend. Hot water DOES freeze faster. It's because it dont
have as much oxygen. Dont ask me why it has less oxygen, but it does.
and thus it freezes faster.

Well, it's true that water w/ less entrained air will freeze faster than
that w/ more entrained air--and, heating water will drive out some of
the entrained air so there's a kernel of truth in the saw...
