i love cheating of this sort- where it's only possible if you're already competent to begin with

in my operating systems lab, they gave us computers to do the lab quizzes and practicals on. you had to code a few small programs in C off the top of your head. you could look at manpages all you wanted but there was suppose to be no communication or notes- the accounts were created automatically on the server and su was only allowed to those in wheel

i pointed out to the professor that we could easily talk to each other during the exam. we were all on the same servers, we just had to make our tty writeable to others which was of course not very easy to restrict. this server didn't have SELinux or any thing of the sort, it was HP-UX. he said that if i was able to do that, then i should probably at least pass anyway.
