Shefffield Wednesday V Stoke City

[radio_peter]

A few weeks ago , I cooked some chick peas and then put the uneaten portion in a foil dish in my fridge( not freezer). In the morning , they were partially frozen and I took a photo which I cannot upload here (URL?) . Other items seemed cold but not frozen . I tried to repeat it but nothing similar happened. Can anyone explain?

Your fridge is probably just set ever so slightly too high, and the combination of the foil tray, the mass/size of them, and the moisture in them, caused them to freeze...

and you know, hot water freezes faster! (known as the Mpemba effect)

In that case , I will try and do it again. I did not know of the Mpemba effect and must look it up! I was expecting supernatural explanations.

I have tried to repeat this but no joy. I have read up about Mpemba effect which doesn't seem to explain actual turning to ice . The fridge temperature was about 6 degrees.
