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.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
    • I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
