This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Got failed for a programming test. Discovered during the practice tests that it was a vm that would run your code for a variety of test cases. Turns out it was a linux vm and said test cases and answer where in a big plain text file that was accessible by the program when being run. Wrote a universal solver that simply read the file checked which case was being checked and returned the correct answer. Got given zero for cheating.
I mean, yes. You were cheating.
The fact that it was simple to cheat doesn't make it not cheating.
Thanks for the story tho

I had to write blueJ tests for a class that my wife randomly volunteered me for. So in an hour I threw together ten really easy hello world type tests that the kids world submit to web cat.
The instructions all said don’t just print like 4 if it was asking you to add 2+2 then return and print the sum.
All the kids got it right by printing and returning the correct answers but my wife’s coworker at the library had an aneurism when they realized they could just print the 4.
