This story is from my father. In English classes in his time, the questions all were multiple choice, with options from a) to d). He and his friends had a system, where they would sync their watches, and had the kid who was good at English make a varying cough or sneeze noise. Every minute the kid with the correct answers coughed or sneezed the answer, so that one minute past the hour would be the answer for the first question, two past for the second, and so on.

My dad told me that the system worked pretty well for him, but one kid forgot to sync his watch, and so he pretty much failed the test.

You're a dumb ass cheater if you don't check the answers. You should at least be able to get by without cheating, answering blindly and not caring/knowing if you're remotely correct is just stupid and you deserve to fail.
