Treat the Hiccups in 3 minutes

One time I decided to search on the internet why do people get the hiccups... After a brief search, I found out that it is somehow related to breathing and the diaphragm (oversimplified). Before this, I had always tried to drink water backwards, or hope to be scared by someone at some point, but it never worked. So! after I read this, I decided to come up with my own solution. I tried different things until I found a solution that has worked for me 100% of the time! I call it the 3-minute sure solution to hiccups. All you need is a stopwatch and a place to sit up straight:
1) Take a couple of deep breaths in and out and make sure you slow down your breathing a bit.
2) Exhale all of your air out and then take a deep breath in and hold your breath for 40 seconds. At this moment, you may start the stopwatch.
3) At the 40 second mark, you can take a 10 second break in which you can prepare for a bigger breath in.
4) At the 50 second mark, hold your breath for 50 seconds (notice the 10 second increment). 
5) This will take you to the 1:40 minute mark. At this moment, take 20 seconds to prepare for the last and biggest breath in.
6) At the 2:00 minute mark, hold your breath for 60 seconds (another 10 second increment).

At the end of these 6 steps, you will find that your hiccups will be gone! (at least for me). Of course different people have different lung capacities, so you should find the numbers that work for you. These are pretty extreme for me (I find it hard to achieve), so you should find what this is like for you. 

In summary: Hold your breath for 40 seconds, rest for 10, hold for 50, rest for 20, and then hold for 60 seconds. I hope it helps!
