Rule 38
Get the Rule 38 mug.
Rule 0
The unwritten rule of tabletop Role Playing Games (but can be applied elsewhere). It says:
"Don't be a dick."
It essentially means players should treat each friendly and with respect.
If someone intentionally does something inappropriate, or acts maliciously towards another player or players, he's breaking Rule 0.
Particular behavior breaking the rule may differ according to a game you are playing. For example, some RPGs are designed as competitive games, while others are cooperative. Behaviour common in the first type could be sometimes considered bad (breaking the Rule 0) in the latter.

Rule of 2
Most commonly used in quiz or exam multiple choice situations.
After trying to figure out a numerical problem and getting the wrong answer BUT you are in the ballpark area, divide or multiple by 2 to get your answer.
If you have no idea how to get the right answer the right way, it is in your interest to use the rule of 2 .
This rule also works with 10, but that is more commonly used for conversion errors (metric).

I couldn't get 1250 for the life of me! I kept getting 1250.
Me too, I just used the rule of 2 though.
