phrase- simply means that if you're ever forced to go somewhere in public with your parents (the local mall for example), and you don't want to be seen in this humiliating situation, you walk 10 tiles ahead of your parents, nobody will ever notice that you're with them. The whole thing goes out the window if they scream your name out across the mall, but the entire situation can be avoided completely if you just bring your cell phone and they allow you to leave their watchful eyes.
John: I have to go to the mall with my parents, and for some reason they said I can't leave their sight.
Joe: No sweat man. All you have to do is use the 10 tile rule.

Get the 10 tile rule mug.A guy will not and should not drive more then 20 minutes to see a girl unless there is at least a 75% chance he will hook up.
Girl: Hey you should drive out here and see me!
Guy: umm idk its like a 30 minute drive
Girl:oh come on, dont worry i know the the 20 minute travel rule
Guy:ok on my way

Get the 20 minute travel rule mug.The amount of time a DVD supplied by a through-the-post rental service has to prove itself watchable. A way of dealing with the inevitable question; "Who the hell picked that!?" when some discs arrive. A damage limitation excercise. Life is too short for bad movies.
Shyamalan's The Happening dropped through the door in the morning so we thought what the hell. We used the ten minute rule. It didn't make it.

Get the As cool as the rule mug.A mathematical rule useful for finding the derivative or instantaneous rate of change of a function that involves the form y = x^n. If n = 0, then the rate of change is zero, since any number x raised to the zero power is 1. To find the derivative when n is some other number other than 0, simply pull down the exponent n, multiply the entire function by n, then subtract 1 from the exponent after you pull n down and multiply. Basically:
1) y = x^n
2) y' = nx^n-1 (y' means take the derivative of the function with respect to x, so use the simple power rule!)
Piece of cake! One of the most helpful rules in calculus, because if you didn't have the simple power rule, then you would have to use the general form for a derivative, which takes alot longer than the method above.

Try these out! Just take the derivative as described above!
y = 3x^(-2)
y'= -6/(x^3)
y = 12x^0
y'= 0
y = 3x^(1/2)
y'= (3/2)x^(-1/2) or 3/2 times 1/squareroot of x
y = 3x^(-2)
y'= -6/(x^3)
