Answer 1

To beat the day trading rule - open accounts with different brokers.

Answer 2

The examples you give are not day trades.

A day trade means the position was opened and closed the same day.  (Buy/sell or short/cover)

If you make an occasion day trade it won't matter.  If you make 4 or may in any 5 consecutive business days, you will be labeled a pattern day trader.  That is when the day trade rules come into play.  

As a pattern day trader you must have a margin account and maintain a minimum balance of $25,000.00.
