28 Simple But Genius Solutions to Pressing Problems

Sometimes the biggest problems come with the simplest solutions, and these 28 people were able to solve their biggest headaches without creating new ones.

One easy way of fixing a problem is by pretending that it doesn't exist. That's exactly what one gym did, when a man accidentally broke a wall with his medicine ball throw. Instead of fixing the wall, they simply bolted a vent cover over the damage. Who's going to know? A frat bro did something similar with his drywall damage.

Check out pics of those fixes, and 26 other simple but genius solutions to common problems.
