If a glass of water is mostly ice with some water, how come the water doesn’t freeze? Is it something to do with the conduction heat transfer between the air and the glass of water? Im assuming that the water would freeze in a vacuum.

consider a 20ml iceblock at -2.c going into a 200ml glass of water at 26.c
thats 20 x -2 encountering 200 x 26
this is not math matching the real values just example math.
the -40 ice enters the +5200 water averaging out at 5160. so you end up with 220ml at ~23.5.c
to get the glass to freeze that block of ice would need to counter the total 5200 so that 20ml ice would need to be -5200 to bring it down to 0 or -260.c not including air or the glass itself.
