When multiplying a number by five, half the number and then move it forwards one decimal place.
Example:
5 x 47
Half of 47 is 23.5
Move it up a decimal place and you have your answer: 235.
Helps me all the time

It sure does. My dad always said that if you go into an official building to make a complaint and you kick off about it then they just get the bully boys out to remove you whereas if you go in there and put a smile on their faces then a good chance they will bend over backwards to help. Its unusual they get that and it makes their day.

One colleague shared how you can trick your way around a gym membership. If you want to cancel a gym membership, gyms don't cancel the membership immediately, and it takes about two weeks in order to do so, making you pay even more than you initially thought. But also, some gyms have "vacations," where you don't need to pay for that time. So the trick is you cancel the membership and then take a vacation, so you don't have to pay for that extra time that it takes you to cancel it. That's a pretty useless loophole as of this moment, but it might be useful some time in the future.

So I have a little sister, and I always have these online projects for school I need her to help me with by like testing it out or something, and she always says no, so then I say something like "Okay, whatever, I can do it myself anyway" and then she always gets annoyed and wants to help instead. Works every time.

I don't think manipulation is a very good loophole. Just take no as an answer & find someone else.

As a woman over 50, I have realized I’m invisible to everyone because our society worships youth. Most women are upset by this sudden lack of interest, which is especially obvious when there’s a cute younger woman present, but not me.
Being “invisible” allows me to do a lot of things because people don’t look at me as someone who’s likely to want to get away with something. I put on my “old lady face” while traveling, and it makes it really easy to get from point A to point B.

I’m over 50 and I like to go into HMV stores, stand in one of the aisles with a bemused/befuddled look on my face. Staff always ask if there is anything they can help me with. I tell them what I want, they get for me without me having to put in any effort. This ruse I nicked off my mum so I’m blaming her.

Ït doesn't help much but I read this from a book.:
""C-cars, Molly, dear?"
"Yes, Arthur, cars," said Mrs. Weasley, her eyes flashing. "Imagine a wizard buying a rusty old car and telling his wife all he wanted to do with it was take it apart to see how it worked, while really he was enchanting it to make it fly."
"Well, dear, I think you'll find that he would be quite within the law to do that, even if ---- er ----- he maybe would have to, um, tell his wife the truth . . . There's a loophole in the law, you'll find . . . . As long as he wasn't intending to fly the car, the fact that the car could fly wouldn't ------"
"Arthur Weasley, you made sure there was a loophole when you wrote that law!" shouted Mrs. Weasley."
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Chapter 3.
So, if a car flies it's in the law.

When I was in high school, I was smoking in the girls room with my friends when a teacher came in and busted us. I ditched my smoke when I saw her walk in, thinking I'd gotten away with something when she escorted my friend to the office.
Then I found out that my friend was sent home for the day. Nothing on the record, no further disciplinary action, nothing--just out for the rest of the day.
Being a recidivist class-cutter, I decided to work this angle and turn myself in. I went to the dean's office, and she threw me out when I couldn't tell her the name of the teacher. She said if I could give her the name of the teacher, she'd send me home, too. I collected all of my friends together and described the teacher and sent them on a manhunt to find out her name (it was a big school, so not an easy task). They came back with her name in about half an hour, and I marched back to the dean's office. The dean couldn't keep the grin off her face when she called my mom and told her what happened and sent me home.
When I got home, my mom was cracking up. She told me that the dean was having a good laugh, too. Neither of them could believe the lengths I went to so I could legally ditch school (A manhunt? For a teacher? Seriously?). The dean had only been at the school for a few months, but told my mom that I was living up to my "legend," whatever that means. ;-)
I think the school changed the rules about punishment for smoking in the bathrooms after that...

In my school they have a wide range WiFi tower (you can use the Internet way outside the school), and there's this mall like 3 blocks away, in there you can buy coffee and food from automatic machines and sit in the dining area -which is somewhat large- and no one bothers you, so my friends and I used to go there to play Halo 2 (before the pandemic) on our laptops between classes, we can do this because when you login to the system it gives you a "session" of 45 min and there's no bandwidth limit (you can download a 4.7 GB movie in like 10 min), and when the time's up we can just switch our User for another and have another 45 min of high-speed internet free :D

Ok so for my phone, it has something called Screen Time(similar to parental controls in a way) basically my parents can make it so I can’t access most apps/websites after a certain time.(for me it’s 10:30) I have no idea how to turn it off, but notice how I said MOST apps/ websites. Bing is one of the search engines that isn’t affected by downtime, so I just go onto bing and look at memes and stuff till I get tired.
I can’t think of any others but I know I’ve done some in the past.

Whelp, I found a loophole with a couple things... When I was younger I had parental control on my ipad, and later my phone. If you've ever had parental control, you know how it sucks sometimes. I could onlyplay each game for 15 minutes, and it would lock at 9 pm, like the phone would not turn on at all after 9 pm. I need to find more loopholes, but here are the ones i've found so far: 1, because it locked after 9, i would get up and change my phone time setting so the phone thinks that its 7 am, the time it unlocks. Then I use my parents password to unlock, and that gives me access to parental control. I can turn it off, and make it so that only I can control parental control (I don't even put it on) . Hope this helps. PS it only works on certain android phones.

One appalling loophole I saw was when I worked as a cardiac ICU nurse at a heart transplant center. Transplant candidates are ranked by how sick they are based on whether they're in the ICU, have specialized IV lines to measure heart pressures, and what assistive drips they were on. We often had patients in the ICU who were walking, had the IV in (but pressures weren't being monitored), and drips running so slow they had the clinical effectiveness of waving the unopened medication bag over them in order to artificially get the patient higher on the transplant list. The regulations were tightened, and new loopholes were found. This seemed to be pretty common among transplant centers, I'm not sure if things have improved since I left the bedside 10 years ago.

In colorado, a law states that you are allowed to harm/kill to defend your dwelling. Because of that, in prison, if an inmate comes into another inmates cell and attacks them, (This happens in some prison quite frequently) the inmate that is being attacked can kill their attacker and say that they were protecting their dwelling.

Since it's buried under this clown's challenge to "look it up" below: "I did look it up, clown. People v. Alaniz, 2016 COA 101 states, and I quote: "'Dwelling' does not include any place of habitation in a detention facility." It specifically states without ambiguity that a prisoner does not have a "dwelling" in a prison or jail IN THE STATE OF COLORADO!! In the future, don't tell someone to "look it up" if you don't have a f*****g clue about the topic. Bored people like me WILL look it up and you will look like a damn retard."

How to beat pool tables that make you pay to release the balls for each game (you still need to pay for the first game unfortunately): get six plastic cups from a water cooler, put one in each hole. This will catch the balls and at the start of a new game, all you have to do is lift out the cups and empty them onto the table.

Years ago I worked in a call centre, a gig promoting credit cards. This project was meant to determine how the target audience reacted to different offers:
A) no discount, 25€ membership
B) 50% discount, €12,50 membership first year
C) first year free!
The commission was the same for every client I registered. The script algorithm determined which offer the client would get. I couldn’t change the offer. I could change the client data.
So if I sensed I wouldn’t get the sell, but I could convince the client to take the free year, I just wrote down their info, and edited the client data in the next ‘free script’. I was (and still am) a lousy sales person, however I got plenty commissions.

Went into the computer closet, found the line in, bypass box or whatever its called and line to my computer. Unplug, replug and I have internet. Never did anything bad with it and certainly never told them how easy it was to bypass. They were engineers. Explains alot.

to get around this i’ll search for a video I want to watch on google and then go to the video section and click on it there, spending no time on youtube searching for it. as soon as it’s playing, I double tap on my home button. the screen gets small but the video keeps on playing and it doesn’t count for time on youtube because i’m not technically on youtube, so I can watch for almost as long as I want.

At work in the late 90s to stop us playing the pre-installed games such as Solitaire, the rubbish person responsible for office IT tried to delete the games program. What she failed to realise was she only deleted it from the desktop and it was p**s easy to reinstall. Which I did, every time she deleted it. She could monitor what we were doing on the computers and being the main culprit playing games she’d try to run round from her corner to catch me in the act but never did. She moved so fast that sparks were flying because of her nylons (tights) rubbing together! She once approached me to say she didn’t know how the hell I managed to reinstall the games but to please stop. A really knowledgeable IT person she obviously wasn’t or perhaps she was more of an IMac person than a Windows one. She died a few years ago and I sometimes do feel regret for winding her up so much.

I have to honestly say that during my career I had one gigantic loophole or exploit but I never took advantage of it. It was my gender. I'm female. I worked as an automobile repair technician for about 40 years (You can take the girl outta tha oil but you can never get the oil outta tha girl!). I had the perfect out for getting away with all kinds of things. Bat your baby blues and look all helpless and say "Oh gee, you're so big and strong and gee, it's so hard to do (what ever). Could you give me a hand? Next thing you know, it's all done for you. No thanks. Did my own work. Earned my own rep. Retired with pride.

Senior year of college, needed an easy gen ed course. Took French 101 (usually taken by freshmen). Rules stated you could not have had more than 4 semesters of the language class in high school within the last 4 years or something like that. I took French class all 4 years of high school, but because of the "last 4 years" clause and I was a Senior, it meant I only had 2 semesters in the last 4 years (going back to last year of high school). So despite having passed French AP, I was able to take (and ace) French 101 in college! :)
