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.

Writing on yourselfI discovered the art of writing the answers for exams on your palms around the tender age of 13. From there I moved up to writing answers under my sleeves, and when I ran out of room there, I began writing on my stomach.
I got my highest grades that year. Not because I cheated--no, I pretty well never checked the answers I'd written on my skin--I knew all the content innately when I sat down at the test. Perhaps the act of writing down everything I needed to know helped me memorise it. In later years I would just get a scrap piece of paper and write down everything I needed to memorise, rather than using my body. It didn't work as well. Could I have learnt through osmosis, as the ink dissolves into my skin? I don't know, but I believe this is the most logical answer.
