What's your top "wow, that actually worked?" moment?

I had an advanced statistics course in college that I did not do well in. Didn’t ever try overly hard and the professor spoke in broken English so it was a challenge for me. I essentially needed to pass my exam to get a good enough grade for the semester.

Went in on exam day, flipped through a few pages and realized just how fucked I was. Literally walked out of the classroom after about five minutes with the exam in hand. Went to the library and finished the exam. Brought it to the professor’s office, which was locked, so I slid it under the door.

Results came in and I got a B+ on the exam & passed the course. Looking back, it was incredibly dumb but hey, it worked!
