If you've cheated in school, you've probably scribbled test answers on an eraser, passed notes with a friend, glanced at your classmate's test or even made a cheat sheet. You never, however, cheated like this amazing student. He's taken cheating to an entirely different level: A 35-foot long cheat sheet with 25,000 answers.

That's right. I'll repeat it for effect: A 35-foot long cheat sheet with 25,000 answers.

Can you imagine the effort required in creating this magical cheat sheet? It probably has every answer to every question on every test about every subject ever known to man. It's so comprehensive that the school that caught him cheating should name him valedictorian and not punish him. Unfortunately, the world doesn't reward cunning evil geniuses like that.

The high school student who was cheating on an university entrance exam in Kazakhstan was caught because he was rustling and fiddling with his clothes too much before the test started. His notes (are they even just notes anymore?) included 25,000 answers that covered math, history, Russian, Kazhak and "another subject of the student's choice", according to the Austrian Times. I really want to know what that other subject was. I also want to know why the heck didn't he just study instead of making the most amazing cheat sheet ever. I also hope a university accepts him.

Except they don't let you have devices like that during a test.

Let's not forget that this is a student in Kazakhstan, provided he could afford such a device, then we assume the place he took the test had Wi-Fi, and assuming he knew the password to it.

Yeah he could've totally used a smart-phone and cloud storage, why would he even want cloud storage? I'm pretty sure a smart-phone can store a whole bunch of text.

The only proper way to cheat is with a Graphics Calculator..

For the Math courses, you etch the formulas into the inside of the case [ so when the teachers look at it, and wipe the memory they don't see them ].. For the other courses just keep your notes in them, and if asked tell teachers you are using it to figure out ages, or convert measurements, and such..

Not that I'd know mind you.

Kazakhstan has smart phones, people can also buy them from ebay/amazong/whatever. You don't need WIFI...

No, really?!

So he purchases a smartphone then buys a 3G plan. That's hard even for some people in richer countries like the States.

What a load of bull****, it's not hard at all, for anyone, it might be expensive but that doesn't stop people from purchasing expensive ****.

sure you did

Haha, what he said might be a little over the top, but I definitely remember in a chemistry class in Jr. High, someone wearing a t-shirt with the periodic table on the back, and they were sitting near the front of the room. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but very self-sacrificing of them if it were the case, allowing everyone else to look on while receiving no benefit from it themselves.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
