This document provides a summary of techniques to solve impossible problems by breaking rules, as exemplified by Albert Einstein's problem-solving approach. It discusses how rule ruts can prevent innovative thinking and describes how Einstein was able to solve challenging scientific problems by ignoring established rules and conventions. Specific examples are given of how breaking rules can enable victory in tic-tac-toe and solving other hopeless problems, such as taking extra turns, using other people's ideas, having a flexible definition of victory, and cooperating with opponents. The document argues that rule breaking was key to Einstein's genius and ability to make groundbreaking discoveries.
