The Six Second Rule can be used under 2 conditions:
1. When asking someone out and AIM shows that they are typing for more than 6 seconds normally implying a 'no'.
2. When you say 'hi/hey/whats up' via AIM and it takes them more than 6 seconds to reply, normally implying that they are leaving and are saying goodbye.

The three second rule is as follows: When you walk into the room where the girl you are interested in is or when she arrives in the vicinity you must initiate conversation within three seconds so to convey spontaneous thought. If you do not follow it and initiate conversation after a couple of minutes she may be less talkative and less attracted by your likely prepared speech. Even if you come out with some shit it will likely be better than preparing something to say. She'll probably be able to tell.
*Shit here she is, here goes*.."eh Hey you're looking fine today girl..where have you been i've not seen you since yesterday"
"yeah! I was at my boyfriend's house"
"oh, ok, eh, *wtf nooo!* - eh, what u been up to then?"

A myth that says that if you drop food on the floor, and pick it up within 5 seconds then it's okay to eat. But research done at University of Illinois has disproved this, and says that food picked up in under 5 seconds had a significant amount of bacteria on it.

Used in restaurant kitchens in terms of food dropped on the floor, if it is ownly on the floor for a loose "2 SC" it's still ok to serve to the guest.
