Question

If hot and cold had a race, who would be faster?

Answer 1

Your question indicates you do not understand the physics of heat.  Cold is the absence of heat so cold does not "flow" as there is nothing to flow.  Heat flows by three and only three methods: radiation, conduction, and convection.  Radiation is "fastest" because it happens at the speed of light.  Conduction and convection can be virtually eliminated (so that is very slow indeed) by use of vacuum containers (see the classic "thermos" bottle).  hope this helps

Answer 2

Heat is highly energetic, while cold is sluggish and lacks energy, so heat wins easily.

Answer 3

Hot because you can catch cold.

Answer 4

hot, cold is slow

Answer 5

hot.  definitely.

Answer 6

Well, since one of the definitions of "cold" is a reduction of molecular activity and speed, Hot must be faster. But I like the "catch a cold" answer better!

Answer 7

Hot.

Answer 8

hot
