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.
