SCHOPENHAUER'S 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it.
The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her. Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument. Ignore your opponent's proposition, which was intended to refer to a particular thing. (abstracted from the book:Numerical Lists You Never Knew or Once Knew and Probably Forget, by: John Boswell and Dan Starer)

But it really isn’t difficult to get the combination for a Dudley you’ve never seen before. At first it seems like an impossible task. You’ve got 60 points on the dial and you need 3 turns to open the lock. That’s 60 x 60 x 60, or 216,000 possible combinations. Theoretically. What helps us out here is that each and every number isn’t used, since the internal discs are not designed for 60 different positions. So alright, how do we find these 10 positions? Sticking zones (in green) and buffers (in blue) for this particular lock.
Now you’ll be able to see the 10 positions behind the dial, and you’ll be able to find the 10 numbers the combination is picked from. So for this lock we have 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 50, and 56 for our possible combination numbers. Okay now we have 10 x 10 x 10, or 1000 possible combinations. But in reality there aren’t even that many. Like this: Like Loading... CASE 2 (by Ruth Mackay) - THE VIRTUAL AUTOPSY. Strange (But Useful) Human Tricks | Can You Believe This?
