Yes; it often freezes faster than cold water. Do an internet search and you will see various explanations of this.
It depends upon how the experient is done. Conditions like the surface/volume ratio, container insulation and relative humidity can make a difference. Most people find hot water freezes faster. I have done the experiment in a freezer and outdoors in winter and had mixed results.
