Actually salt does make it melt faster. And of course it lowers the melting point, hence why it melts.

When you add salt to an ice cube the salt immediately begins to dissolve, the ionic bonds break to form bonds with the water. (water has strong negative and positive points on it). Because the interaction is stronger than the interaction to stay as a solid the ice releases energy as heat given off melting until it hits a cold enough temperature to freeze again.

What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or pepper?

You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

Does ice melt faster to salt or sugar?

Sugar. Salt often slows down the process of melting, so sugar is what would melt it faster.
