#1 Hack 1: You are in an ATM and a robber threatens you for all the money.
Answer: Dont think that by putting your ATM pin backwards is going to save you by alerting the nearby police. Firstly, this is a myth nothing of such sort happens and secondly, you might end of losing your life because of over smartness. If the robber believes in this myth he/she might get terrified and try killing/hurting you. Ideal case bring him in close to the cctv in that ATM. Give him all your money infact always keep a ATM card with least amount of money visible in the wallet. This way you might be able to save yourself and your money to an extent.
Hack 2: You dont have any money/lost your wallet and want to travel via a city bus.
Answer: Get in the bus and pretend you are in the wrong bus by asking for a totally different destination.The conductor might not buy this trick and will ask you to get down at the next stop. What do you do then? Repeat till you reach your destination. None of the conductor will stop the bus once it starts and will take you to the next stop and if lucky he might leave you till you destination. He wont let you be in the bus if you ask him that you dont have any money because he sees this types of people daily. So he might think you are one of such people. You will be insulted and thrown out.
Hack 3: You took your friends car for a ride, but dont know if it is diesel or a petrol car. You cant reach to your friend or find anything in the car that gives you an idea.
Answer: If youve searched the entire car from bumper to bumper and still not found any clues, you may be tempted to just go ahead and fill up. What you might not know is that diesel pump nozzles are thicker than petrol ones. So putting diesel in a petrol car can be pretty difficult: if it feels like youre really having to force a diesel nozzle into the fuel neck, it could mean the car uses petrol.
However, putting a thinner petrol nozzle into a diesel car is, sadly, very easy. And, because petrol doesnt have any lubricating qualities (like diesel does), putting petrol into a diesel can be particularly bad for mechanical components such as the fuel pump. So yes this hack is 5050% effective sadly.
Alternatively, you can have a look at the RC (Registration Certificate) of the vehicle for fuel type. In case you don't have it, you can download mParivahan app from play store and search for the Registration no., You will get the Car make, model and fuel type.
Hack 4: Dropped your phone in water.
Answer: Grab a plastic bag, preferably a common zipper storage bag and fill it up with uncooked rice or alternatively, silica-gel packets. Place the phone in the plastic bag and make sure the device is fully immersed in the rice. Trying to turn on a phone after a water incident always poses a risk of damage.
Hack 5: How long should you nap?
Answer:
1020 minutes: To boost alertness, energy and boost yourself.
30 minutes: Never! This will leave you feeling extremely groggy.
60 minutes: To improve your fact, face, and name recognition.
90 minutes: To improve emotional, procedural memory, and creativity.
