A method used mostly on multiple choice tests, quizzes, or worksheets that uses educated guessing based on similarities of the given answers. This is expected to work better than random guessing as the question creator tends to use similar answers to trick and confuse the person answering. This is to be used when you have absolutely no clue how to attempt the problem, or you just don't give a fuck, but still want a better chance to be correct. Named Chmiel Rule after Kevin Chmiel who stabilized this method and found it to be very effective during several multiple choice tests and quizzes. When the correct answer does not follow this method in any manner it is known as a Brinker Complex.
Evaluate the integral of the function (x^2+x+3)/x over boundaries 1 to 8?
a) 40+3ln(7)
b) 38.5+3ln(8)
c) 10+ln(8)
d) 38.5
e) 0
B is the logical guess using Chmiel Rule (and is correct) since there are 3 ln's, 2/3 of those have a 3 in front of them, 2 of the questions have 38.5. B has the most commonalities so guess B (Or learn 2 calculus).

Get the Chmiel Rule mug.A code of secrecy invoked by promising to never tell another person the story you are about to be told.
In a conversation the Mooney Rule would be used as follows:
Person 1: Dude, I have something important to tell you, Mooney Rule on this.
Person 2: Ok, I swear never tell anyone.
Person one then proceeds to tell person two the important story knowing that the secret will stay private between the two due to the Mooney Rule being invoked.

Get the Vikaas Rule mug.A series of gang signs used as dog whistles by physicists to communicate with one another. There are several iterations corresponding to different affiliations.
The most common and simple versions usually involve holding one's right arm out, curling the fingers inward toward the torso, and pointing the thumb upward. This is often (but not always) accompanied by the member looking up in the direction their thumb is pointing. At times this may be inverted, with the thumb pointing downward.
Adherents of various sects differ on dogma, but universally agree on the "Power" of physics in the world.

Get the Right Hand Rule mug.The 5T second rule (five-tee second rule, 5-T second rule) is a rule that is secretly the 50 second rule (fifty second rule). The 5T second rule states that if you pick up food or drink within 50 seconds or less, you get to eat the food and drink the drink. It's actually not a real rule and just an excuse to eat food off the floor and drink food off the floor. In 5 milliseconds, there's already hundreds of germs and viruses sticking to the food and many more preparing to stick.
Frank: *chicken wings and French fries with ketchup and a Pepsi falls to the floor.
Frank: Uh, 5T second rule?
Dave: Oh! I guess 5T seconds is a pretty short time to wait to pick up the food from the floor.

Frank: *picks up the chicken wings and ketchup and eats it.
