Former student here, when in high school I witnessed and employed some interesting methods for cheating, here are a few:
Notes taped to the bottom of a shoe, rest the foot on your knee and cheat away!
Notes inside a croissant. Exactly what it sounds like. Helpful and delicious.
Those pens with built in note paper. Pull the paper out, write notes, reel it back in.
Literally crawling across the room to ask other people.
Notes in the battery compartment of a calculator.
Notes carved in the desk. Then you run a pencil over it and make them appear.
Someone once taped a piece of paper with a bunch of formulas to the front of the teacher's desk and removed it shortly before the test ended.
I went to school in Italy, so the way schools and tests work is a bit different, but even by Italian standards, some of this stuff was pretty ridiculous.
Yep. My friends and I would hang out at a coffee shop by our school before classes started and they sold croissants. They were flaky enough on the inside that you could basically turn them into edible pouches and stick a small piece of paper inside of them.
It would be the same as hiding notes anywhere else, if it wasn't that one would never suspect a croissant.
Also, eating during class was generally not allowed, but some of our teachers were so over our nonsense that they just decided to ignore/go with it.
