Heuristics
A heuristic, or "rule of thumb", is a solution that neglects some of a problem's complexity, while still producing a satisfactory result.
The namesake rule of the rule of thumb is that the width of one's thumb is about an inch. With that heuristic, one can closely approximate small dimensions even without the proper tools.
