But this guy just wrote a bunch of notes and quotes and stuff and snuck them in. He's such a douchebag.

He attempted to cheat by not only removing a clearly labelled booklet for one section and passing it off as a booklet for another section, not only pre-writing an essay at home (without knowing the actual question), but he also thought that he could get away with doing this ridiculous stunt which included (but not limited to) smuggling it in and out of the exam area
Alright, let me ask you this.

Would you have the nuts to do it? No bullshit. Regardless of the insanity involved, the chance of getting caught, etc. Could you actually do it?

The point is considering he really is an idiot. Which I can assure you he is not. He still had the nerve to do something a regular person could not bring themselves to doing. He gambled with his "life". Ofcourse the HSC =/= life, but as far as many students who care about the HSC are concerned, it definitely is quite important.

Now as to whether he was an idiot or not. He was smart enough to come up with a plan, which if executed properly could have benefited him. He cared enough to attempt it - again suggesting he isn't somebody who is apathetic towards his HSC and his future, etc.

And you want him to be a "secret government agent"?
Well how would you recruit secret agents in the country of PwarYuex?

I heard a good one, tho probably not for hsc, since no materials are allowed except pens and transparent drink bottle:

Big phat rubber band, stretch it, write formulae/notes, unstretch, looks like black/blue smudge.
Take into exam room, fiddle with it in ur hands during exam while 'thinking'/'waiting till coast is clear', wait till coast is clear, stretch, examine formulae/notes, unstretch, write, pass/fail if caught.

Someone at some school did this, and didnt get caught.

i heard about someone who took off a water bottle label, scanned it, then put notes in where the ingredients are.
at my school they dont care about water bottles so that could work.
but i dont get it. if ppl are so smart they can think of a way to cheat, how come they dont just get the marks?
exam stress maybe.

If you read an earlier comment, someone said they copied three answers in a test, even though they would have gotten those answers normally. Imagine totally running out of time during the exam. Wouldn't it be awesome to just pull out a whole "body" part of an essay, and only have to write the intro and a conclusion which makes specific reference to the question?
Ofcourse it would. There should always be a backup plan.

This guy executed his plan poorly. But if it had been better planned, who knows what could of happened. Is it worth it? That's irrelevant.

Good for him cheating - he's rebelling aganist conformity and I admire him for that.
In regards to Paper One, good for him! I think the main reason he would have done it was because of it's name - the "paper" juxtaposed with the "one" sort of makes you want to cheat doesn't it? At least it gives me some sort of desire to...the inclusion of the word "paper" despite the exam just makes me wanna cheat SOOOOOOO BAD!
p.s i love the name paper one but i prefer the name paper 2.

As I said, the Board of Studies didn't send us enough booklets so we got generic ones. That's the one he took in to paper 2.

1. Yes, the name of paper one makes me wanna scream, it's so university formalised.
2. It's not "fucked" up. It's a way of differentiating myself from the norm you call society

Maybe in the country of Sam.
It was one of the blank generic booklets.

'
He's been cheating all year. he has good ranks in all his subjects. everyone knows he cheats, but there is never enough direct evidence to prove it.

in maths, apparently he leaves questions blank in the internal exams, and when the class gets them back to check, he fills in the right answer and says "hey you forgot to mark this question miss teacher"
