Water taps

I have researched and now found out how to use the sinks that have separate taps for hot and cold water.

From what I understand there are three strategies:

1) Fill the sink with water from both taps. Eeeew...
2) Choose to either freeze or burn your hands. Because it may take a while for the hot water to get burning hot you may be able to wash your hands before you burn your hands up.
3) Quickly go back and forth between hot and cold tap, so that the cold water protects your hands while they're in the flames of hell.

The reason for the separate taps is historical. The pipes are simply bad, and may have different pressure in the hot and cold pipe.
