diddi,
Yes, The points was the key: of a triangle is three and two points in a line. I think ice water is 32 degrees farenheit or as Vog mentioned, 0 degrees celcius.
Good points to this topic and very interesting to hear the points made be contributers.
Norie,
I suppose, but no secret tricks or anything. The basic goal here is to gain collective perspectives from the great minds that frequent here.
So far it seems Vog and I are in aggreement as to the temp. I would like to hear others specific temperature speculations.

diddi, that is my guess, you are right.
I cannot say if my guess is accurate though. hah!

diddi, I did not know about the triple point as a term. I just looked up the term and skimmed over, interesting.
It is a coincidence between the using the triangle to represent "three" (points) and the term actually refering to items discussed in this thread.
Clever!

Just to maybe gain some understanding because this physics is outside my realm of knowledge...
It has always been my understanding that a glass of ice water in aan undisturbed environment normally sits around 35 degrees F. I/we frequently use ice water to "calibrate" a thermometer to 35 degrees when we are hunting. Not a scientific device or application, so it does not have to be perfectly precise. But that's what we've always done.
If the water were to cool to 32 degrees, would it not then be ice as well? I do understand and have seen that there are situations where liquid water can be colder and not be a solid, and then flash freeze when agitated, but I am thinking of a simple glass of water sitting on my kitchen table.
