I'll get around to it.
Incidentally, are you sure that your brine was saturated, or close to it? I know your picture shows solid salt lying on the bottom, but that doesn't really mean much. Salt dissolves very slowly in cold water. Unless you stirred for a very long time, the solution may have been much less concentrated than you thought. Brine that is saturated at low temperature contains about 23% by mass of salt, e.g. 23 grams of salt in 77 grams of water. Unless you dissolved roughly that much salt in your water, it wasn't saturated.

Hmmm...come to think of it...was the solution saturated _after_ teh cube melted? Somehow I doubt it.
