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.

Cheat finder generalI'm an academic and have had several occasions to root out cheaters. For example, I recently was an external examiner and was marking some assessed coursework by some post-graduate students from Central Europe. Midway through the standard of English (and for that matter logic) dramatically improved. I googled a few sentences and found within seconds that page after page had been copied, word for word, from a report available on teh interweb.
I made sure that the three failed the course. Then one of them had the nerve to write a letter of complaint... It didn't help them though.
Remember kids - your teachers aren't always stupid or lazy. You might just get caught.
