Fuck you thermodynamics. For a little while I thought you were somewhat reasonable and then you show up with this Mpemba effect. We are not friends anymore
The Mpemba likely isn't real. Most attempts to replicate fail. More likely: It's extremely hard to reliably control all parameters of this experiment. So there's a small random chance of "seeing the Mpemba effect", without any real correlation. The rest is publication bias.
