Dan: One could argue that it's a popsicle as soon as it's frozen
Sam: Aye. Frozen is frozen, although unfrozen popsicles are sold as "popsicle" in stores. So my point stands.

You'll need 80 more calories/gram for the phase change from liquid to solid.

And if you manage to steal a vat of liquid helium, you won't need any patience, either. :)

You were fine up til the state change, that latent heat of fusion will get you.

The sugar would also act as a dissolved colligative particle and lower the feezing point...but we can get around that by assuming Sam's kool-aid is weak.

Anyway, nicely done

Yay, fun with thermodynamics.

Now for the bonus question: Is "work" being done by or to the system?
