How often does someone suggest to you some new hint, tip or hack that will supposedly make your life a whole lot easier? And which ones can you trust? We want to find out by subjecting life-hacks to rigorous scientific testing – a sort of "clinical trial" for the internet's "top tips". But we need your help. To be sure of the results, we need citizen scientists from far and wide to carry out our simple experiment and then return their results to us.
