This reminds me of how one time in an interview, I realized I had an off-by-one error. Instead of actually trying to understand the source of the error, I just sped-run tweaking different values +/- 1 until I got the expected result.
In the moment I felt quite clever, but the interviewer apparently did not appreciate that technique.
