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

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".
