Student caught using deviously clever way to smuggle cheat notes into exam – and he’s studying criminal law
A CRIMINAL law student was caught cheating in a university exam - using a deviously intricate method.
Professors admitted they couldn't help admiring the lengths he went to way to sneak crib notes into the hall - but unfortunately there was one major flaw.
Images show how the Spanish student had engraved borderline microscopic letters containing information from his syllabus across a set of blue Bic pens.
According to a friend of the accused, he did so by “replacing the graphite lead of a mechanical pencil with a needle.”
It reportedly made it “super easy for him to write on a pen.”
Malaga University lecturer Yolanda de Lucchi, who tweeted about the bizarre effort to cheat last Wednesday, said she was shocked when she discovered what he had achieved.
