Such as counterintuitive fixes to a problem, or where a mistake unexpectedly results in an even better outcome than originally hoped for.

I’ve heard at least a dozen guaranteed methods for solving hiccups. At this point I’m convinced it’s all placebo, including the method that works for me reliably.

If you must know…You hold your breath with a mouth full of water, plugging your ears, swallowing very slowly. Hold your breath as long as you can and take a few deep breaths after.

    I agree that most all of them are borderline placebo, but I'm pretty positive that some combination of breath and water lies the cure.

    My go-to for curing hiccups is just taking little sips of something and pausing in between
