larger than life characters have come up with all kinds of genius ways to bend the rules and beat the system where there's a will there's a way some call it breaking the law and some people call it finding a loophole either way you can't blame them for trying from a soccer fan who went to great lengths to sneak his way into the stadium to a farmer who built a forbidden castle hidden behind bells of hay these are the 15 genius people who beat the system we complained to their teacher and she said you could wear skirt if you want jokingly jokingly but [Music] fan rents crane to watch game a turkish soccer fan came up with a genius way to support his favorite team when he was banned from the stadium banished for a whole year for unspecified reasons ali decided that nothing would stand in between him and his love for soccer nicknamed irregular ali this die-hard sports fan rented a crane for the day so that he could watch the game from above yeah this passionate display of support for his team won him the respect of fans in the stadium below and they even cheered him on as he viewed the game from his very own vip crane box however the local police weren't so impressed and lowered the crane to the ground thwarting ali's elaborate plan the crane cost him a grand total of 86 dollars and even had his very own private viewing platform not only that but his beloved team won the match by five nil hey maybe ali and his crane were a good luck charm now let's get ready for today's missing topic and now it's time for our missing topic this surprising image of pole line fishermen in southern india has been circulating the internet with many people wondering how on earth they managed to catch so many giant fish using only their rods in the open ocean have these talented fishermen found a way to beat the system we want to know their secret usually you would need a massive net to pull in a hall this ginormous so what do you guys think they're up to join in the conversation by using the hashtag missingtopic in the comment section below hey hey did you know that if you smash the like button subscribe and click the notification bell you're more likely to win the lottery so what are you waiting for iranian women sneak into soccer stadium after the 1979 revolution in iran the government banned women from a range of sporting events including soccer but recently iranian women have found a genius way to beat the system and attend their favorite sports matches yeah you guessed it these soccer loving ladies have been disguising themselves as men in an attempt to sneak into the stadium and most of the time it actually works wearing beards and wigs and painting their face to look more masculine these ingenious girls are able to walk right through the gates and sit inside the stadium however it seems as though once they're set down the other guys start to realize that these soccer fans aren't men at all but women in disguise thankfully the women have the crowd's full support and they say that people even come up to them and praise them for attending and ask for selfies in march of 2017 35 women were detained for trying to attend a football match so every time they sneak into the stadium they're risking harsh punishment these hilarious viral images show the lengths that these ladies are willing to go to in order to support their favorite soccer team talk about super fans the hidden castle when robert fiddler from england built his very own castle in 2000 he forgot one very important detail asking for planning permission yeah this british farmer constructed an entire castle complete with four bedrooms turrets and even cannons and battlements but the entire project was deemed to be totally illegal by the authorities hiding his construction from the public behind giant bells of hay nobody even knew the tudor style castle existed until years later when the facade came down fiddler has even compared his impressive dwelling to a picasso masterpiece with a grand hall stained glass windows and magnificent architecture it's crazy to think that this colossal castle could have been concealed behind bales of hay for all that time the press reported that fiddler hoped he could exploit a loophole that stated if a construction lasts four years uncontested then the authorities could not touch it but unfortunately for this crafty farmer he was still ordered to demolish his million-dollar castle or face jail time hey guess it was good while it lasted the fake freeway sign in 2001 artist richard ankrum pulled off one of the greatest art hoaxes of all time yet move over banksy there's a new prankster in town after ankrum repeatedly missed the exit on the 110 freeway in la due to poorly indicated signs the bold artist decided to take matters into his own hands rather than asking politely for the california department of transportation to fix their mistake ankram got to work building a perfect replica of a traffic shield so that no one could ever take a wrong turn again planning this act of guerrilla public service as he called it took him years and no expense was spared to get his fake sign totally accurate he used countless swatches to perfectly match the paint color of other signs and even climbed bridges to measure the exact dimensions of his sign everything down to the typeface was exactly the same as a legit side once his masterpiece was complete he ascended 30 feet above a busy highway to install his shield wearing fake work clothes a hard hat and an orange vest to complete the look nobody suspected a thing in fact it worked so well that nine whole months went by before the transportation department even noticed the imposter sign the sign maker assumed that they would remove his beloved rogue sign but amazingly it passed inspection and they actually left it up talk about beating the system [Music] schoolboy protest when summer temperatures soared over 30 degrees celsius in exeter england local school kids came up with an ingenious way to skip out on their school uniform yet the young boys were told by their head teacher that they weren't allowed to wear shorts even though the weather was scorching so in a desperate bid to cool down the teens turned to their female peers for inspiration as many as 30 school boys turned up for classes in tartan skirts which were allowed under the strict uniform guidelines this creative protest won the hearts of the nation and many parents spoke out about how proud they were of their sons for standing up to the ridiculous double standards of the school yeah if the girls can wear skirts then the boys can too finally the teens could get on with their lessons without roasting inside a sweaty classroom as for the rules the head teacher finally caved stating that she would consider letting the boys wear shorts next summer you're never too young to start a revolution the fake prince of montenegro this 57 year old italian con man had somehow convinced the world that he was a member of the royal family but there was actually nothing remotely regal about this otherwise ordinary guy arrested for fraud and forgery it turns out that stephen cernetic had been posing as the prince of montenegro for years in an elaborate scam that food both celebrities and real-life royals yeah prince stefan was utterly convincing living his life under the made-up title of his imperial and royal highness stephen cernetic hereditary prince of montenegro serbia and albania he even claimed to be a direct descendant of the roman emperor constantine hey if you're gonna lie you may as well make it an impressive lie this hustler traveled all over europe attending fancy receptions staying in five star hotels and partying on yachts it's rumored that at one posh luncheon he even shared a table with the actual princess of greece in denmark and he didn't just rub shoulders with european royalty he even hoodwinked hollywood royalty as well in one bizarre incident he was photographed knighting actress pamela anderson honoring her with the title of the great lady of montenegro so how did this con artist finally get caught well it turns out there isn't even a royal family in montenegro and there hasn't been one since 1918 whoops bet everyone feels a bit silly now peeking duck backstage hack have you wished you could hang out backstage with your favorite band well it turns out it's not actually as difficult as you might think one super fan came up with an ingenious plan to get past security and meet musical act peking duck at one of their concerts in melbourne australia he came up with the idea while in the audience and decided to give it a go simply editing the band's wikipedia page using his cell phone the crafty fan wrote his name in their bio stating that he was a stepbrother of one of the band members when he showed his id in the wikipedia page to the security guard he was ushered right into the backstage area yeah that crazy stunt actually worked the members of peking duck were so impressed with his plan that they actually invited him into the green room to share some beers tweeting that he was an absolute legend we're not so sure the security breach would work everywhere but this mega fan tried it and it paid off mcdonald's secret menu so do you think you know the mcdonald's menu by heart think again that's right there's actually a secret menu hidden right under our noses yet you'll never look back once you've learned these delicious secret combinations big macs are just plain boring compared to these meals so why is this epic menu so hush-hush well as you can imagine mcdonald's employees don't like to make them and most of the time they'll actually make you assemble them yourself but trust us when we say they're totally worth it how about the neapolitan milkshake for example order the strawberry vanilla and chocolate shakes together and you've got yourself a delicious sweet treat or how about trying the mythical land sea and air burger yeah this bonkers burger combines a filet of fish big mac and a mcchicken burger it's a whopping 1225 calories that's not even the most outrageous secret menu item you can order the monster mac is made from eight whole burgers and the end product is a sandwich so big that you can barely fit it in your mouth there's even a secret brunch item only available during a brief window when both breakfast and lunch items are on offer the mc1035 is made from two mcdoubles and cheese inside an egg mcmuffin mcdonald's denies the very existence of the secret menu but many people swear by it wow suddenly we're really hungry desperate restaurant booking we all know how frustrating it is to be turned away from a restaurant because they're fully booked well this one guy wasn't taking no for an answer determined to take his children out for a nice meal this father from staten island new york phoned back the restaurant and booked under a false name and who did he pretend to be well the prime minister of morocco of course excited staff immediately gave him the best table in the house and even the head chef came out for photographs with a fake politician the phony leader actually signed a plate for the restaurant with no one catching on to the fact that this man was nothing more than your average american dad yeah it seems that no one here knew what the real prime minister of morocco actually looked like the hilarious clip had been retweeted tens of thousands of times but some commenters pointed out that impersonating another person is technically illegal and could even be considered fraud well a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do kid builds his own house most 13 year olds are busy playing video games or hanging out at the mall but this legendary team actually built his very own house that's right luke phil from iowa is actually a homeowner at the extremely young age of 13. he built his 89 square foot tiny home totally from scratch and paid for the house using money he had earned for doing chores luke raised fifteen hundred dollars by cutting lawns cleaning garages and doing odd jobs for people in his neighborhood and all his hard work paid off this 10 foot long 5 foot wide house has a living room complete with a tv a working kitchen and a loft area to sleep in it's every teenager's dream located in his parents backyard luke built the impressive mini using 75 reclaimed materials left over from his grandma's house and a friend of his uncles he was even asked to be a guest speaker at tiny fest midwest to discuss his incredible backyard design he now has his own youtube channel with more than 75 000 subscribers where he teaches viewers to build their own tiny homes not bad for a 13 year old kid darren brown predicts the lottery british illusionist darren brown had performed many extraordinary tricks over the years including reading people's minds and playing russian roulette with a genuine revolver live on television but nothing has baffled people quite like this incredible stunt in the lead up to his epic magic trick darren brown told the public for days that he would predict the lottery numbers on live television by the time the day of the stunt rolled around the entire nation was tuned in to see if he could actually pull it off standing in front of a clear plastic podium six white balls faced the wall waiting to be turned around and revealed at the exact same moment that the lottery numbers were announced and sure enough once the numbers had been pulled at random brown spun the balls in a studio to face the cameras completely and in order the numbers 2 11 23 28 35 and 39 were clearly printed onto the orbs everyone was left speechless by this unbelievable trick and most shockingly of all darren brown didn't even purchase a lottery ticket which would have won him a cool 2.4 million pounds so how did he do it people suggested a split screen may have been used or even a false wall hiding an assistant other people guessed that the numbers may have been projected onto the balls using a hidden projector or maybe lasers were the answer some people even considered that they had filmed every possible combination maybe we'll never know exactly how he did it or maybe just maybe it was really magic eric the eel wins by default when eric musambani competed at the 2000 olympic games in sydney australia he had never seen an olympic-sized swimming pool before but miraculously he still won the first heat of the 100 meter freestyle yet when the other two swimmers were instantly disqualified due to a fast start he became the only contender left in the swimming pool representing his home country of equatorial guinea after training for three months in a 20-meter hotel pool he went on to swim further than he ever had beating an amazing world record the record for the slowest time in olympic history that is that's right this athlete was nicknamed eddie the eel after it took him a staggering 1 minute and 52 seconds to swim 100 meters a whole 50 seconds behind the second slowest swimmer in the rest of the heats this mind-blowing clip has been viewed millions of times on youtube but incredibly eric the eel went on to improve his personal best and became the coach of the national swimming squad of equatorial guinea he's a legend the ponzi scheme if you've ever heard of a ponzi scheme then you'll know that it's kind of a scam used by con artists and grifters to cheat people out of their money but did you know that it was actually named after a real life person yet charles ponzi was the original con man and swindled millions and millions of dollars over the course of his criminal career originally from italy ponzi emigrated to the u.s in 103 arriving in boston on the ss vancouver he had just 2.50 cents in his pocket after gambling away his life savings on the voyage over by the time the 1920s rolled around ponzi had already served several jail terms but he was still yet to pull off his greatest scam yet buying discounted postal reply coupons in other countries and redeeming them at face value in the u.s ponzi promised his clients 50 profit in 45 days and 100 profit in 90 days however it eventually became apparent that he was paying off early investors using the cash of later investors also known as robbing peter to pay paul at the height of his scam he was making 1 million dollars a day and he ran this elaborate con for over a year before he was caught at that time he owed his investors a whopping 250 million dollars in today's money so there you have it the original ponzi scheme you may have beat the system but not for long sometimes the system beats you back [Music] german swiss town like no other this small town is quite unique this german enclave actually considers itself to belong to another country switzerland yet residents in the unusual town of buzingan can't seem to decide whether they're swiss or german so they just pretend that they're both that's one way to beat the system part of germany legally but considered swiss economically the borders of this one-of-a-kind town are seriously blurred in fact the official borderline actually runs right down the middle of a local restaurant they don't use the euro and prefer the swiss franc and they even use both swiss and german postal codes there are swiss and german phone booths and german and swiss power sockets in homes and hotels they fly the swiss flag and celebrate swiss holidays and swiss police can arrest german citizens and take them to switzerland confused us too when the population voted which country they wanted to belong in in 1918 an overwhelming 96 voted to be swiss however germany wasn't budging the max headroom hack and now it's time for our final genius who beat the system except we have no idea exactly who he is that's right this anonymous hacker was never discovered and it's still one of the creepiest mysteries in broadcasting history on november 22 1987 two tv stations in chicago united states was hijacked by an unknown figure wearing a max headroom mask dining a rubber mask and sunglasses mac's headroom was a popular television character at the time but this random hijacker seemed to be using max's persona for his own bizarre motives the backyard of the broadcast was spinning and buzzing and the whole thing was super creepy but it took just 30 seconds for studio engineers to switch the frequency and rescue their scheduled programming assuming it was an inside job they scoured the building for the television pirate but eventually realized it was pre-recorded at an unknown location weird right well it gets a whole lot weirder hijacking another television station this time max headroom ruled the airwaves for over a minute displaying some very strange behavior indeed illegal interference of a broadcast signal is actually against federal law and comes with a maximum penalty of 100 thousand dollars or a year in jail but the hijacker was never caught you never know max headroom could still be at large yet you need nerves of steel and brains to beat the system and these iconic people had them both but which one was your favorite you can let us know in the comment section below and don't forget to give us a big thumbs up if you enjoyed this video you can also hit subscribe for more
