Depends what they mean by "instantly".  Warm water is less dense than cool, so it would techincally rise above and "float" on top of the cold.  However, given enough time, since both solutions are just water, they would mix and form a water solution of one temperature.

You need to understand that heat travels from hot to cold, so the water with the higher temperature, heat flows from there to the liquid with the lower temperature.
