thermodynamics - What is the status of Mpemba effect investigations?


There is this puzzling thing that is called Mpemba effect: paradoxically, warm (35°C) water freezes faster than cold (5°C) water. As a physisist, I've been asked about it several times already. And I have no definite answer to that, apart from the standard: "there are many things that can influence it".


So, does anyone knows about the status or progress on that effect? Any recent reviews, publications or other references?
