Cheating cheaty cheatsI'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

I only properly cheated once at university... the other times were just fudges!Anyway... in my first year all the physicists/mathematicians/combined studies students all had to take the same maths techniques module. Not only was it reasonably difficult, but it was also complete bollocks! Although I went to most of the lectures I never paid attention (it was never noticed due to the large class size) which meant the coursework was nie on impossible.
The whole years problem sets all had to be in at the end of the spring term, so it was inevitable that some cheating would go on. I copied mine from a mate on my course, who copied his from his housemate a mathematician, who copied his from his course mate, who in turn copied his from the clever guy on the course! Now I’m no idiot, so I deliberately made a few mistakes (complete with wrong working) so not to get a really good mark. I got 84% in the end, which coupled with my solo effort in the exam of 37% gave me an average of 49% which I believe was a third... Nice work!
