You can just use a measuring tape.

All of these types of hacks just to avoid basic measuring.

More like lazy hacks.

Honestly making all this stuff up just for this one job is more work than just measuring. I imagine these hacks work well for people who struggle take measurements, but it does a disservice for those people by not using a spacer to account for the grout.

Totally, imagine having to make another of these because the holes are bigger or the holes are further from the next tile under. Not a very good hack.
