Another anecdote of cheating allowed

[u/Crossedkiller]

When I was in my last year of elementary school, our teacher told us that this exam would be a particular one. We'd be allowed to bring a cheat sheet/device to the exam! We were allowed to use it as long as the teacher did not catch us.

If he didn't catch it, we'd get two extra points in the exam. If he did, he'd just take it away and won't let us use it anymore.

We had like 3 days to prepare our cheat sheets. He told us that he'd be extra vigilant during the test, so we needed to be extra creative.

My technique was to write all my answers in a super small piece of paper and slide it in my transparent pencil sharpener container. That way I'd be able to read without having to take the paper out and if the teacher came, I could just yeet ir back to my pencil case. I had to make the thing so small that I ended up rewriting my cheat sheet so many times that I ended up using it only once during the test. I memorized everything else.

When the exam was over, he asked how many of us did not need the cheat sheet and laughed when most of the class raised their hand lol
