        I bet perspiration drops on the photo would help. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:37 1
        
        Yes, but it'd be my sweat given the nervousness of chloroforming Clive. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 07:40

        It would be impossible to give them a test that could take 2 hours. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 07:16 10
        
        I get that. But they seem to almost encourage cheating. What can you test that a student can't end up googling? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:18 9
