Tell us a secret you know because of your work that others might not know
Tell us a secret you know because of your work/experience/etc. that others might not know...
For example...
My uncle/aunt rent the claw machines that allow you to get stuffed animals (regularly found in arcades places) and I found out that the way that thing works is that it has a timer that changes the claws strength. Therefore, if you are playing when the claw is on strong, you are almost guaranteed to get the stuffed animal. In other words, the claw can be weak for 20 min, then switch to strong for 2 min, and then to weak again for 20 min. Those times are adjustable.

Most dirt-hauling trucks, from pick-up trucks to double-trailer semi's, traveling down our roadways are at least 20% (and up to 50%) over weight.

Most buildings that people think are overengineered actually are. That's due to the fact that most of the time there is a 1.5 times safety factor figured into the design.
