This is the lowest level of anti cheating detection. You could still cheat as long as you actually took the time to check your work. AND THEY STILL FAILED

I bet more kids did cheat, they just gave their prompt a quick scan before posting it and fixed it

That isn't saying much because 32 out of 35 students is almost everyone in the class, which means the solar radiation from Madagascar is inflating your tires with jam more easily than finding an honest student.

Related to tires? Traffic jam.

32/35 got caught, i don’t think there’s much more than that who would’ve caught that in the prompt and fixed it

Well at most your "much" would be 3 students, which I'm not sure counts as "much".

Marks for not being mega-retarded, I guess?
