I went to Georgia State University way back when. I was going as a CS major and I was taking a Chemistry class as an elective. I was doing horrible in Chemistry as I was a full time student and had a full time job too.
I struggled through the class and the lab. For some reason the final exam was in the computer lab. As I found out the exam was on the computer and had a time limit of 4 hours. To show how long ago it was, the exam was on commodore 64's.
It was a 200 question test and multiple choice. I struggled through the first 15 questions for almost the first hour. I decided that I was never going to finish the exam in time. I had fooled around with commodore's prior and knew the execute break sequence.
It dropped me to a command prompt and I started looking through the code to change it so no matter which answer I gave it was always correct. 10 minutes of searching through the code, I found where it matched up responses to questions. The bad news if anyone remembers programming for commodore basic is that you could lock the program memory.
The good news was that I found the variables holding the question I was on and the number of questions that I got correct. I set the next question equal to 200 and the number correct to 199.
I sat around for almost another hour. Then at the command prompt typed "run" and pressed enter. A screen popped up stating that I completed the test with one missed answer at a time of just over 2 hours.
I got an A in the class and nobody ever questioned my final exam test.....
Was that moral?
