five second rule 

h2oincfs' Corollary:

The food can remain on the floor for longer than five seconds, as long as you started reaching for it before the five seconds expired.

I had to change position after my first attempt to reach the Cheesy Poof that had fallen under my desk failed. However, I had begun the attempt before five seconds had passed, therefore the five second rule was not broken.
