I always thought it would be fun to have an "escape room" style fake testing center where cheating is allowed and encouraged and the goal of the game is to pass the test.
The "tests" administered would be impossible lorem-ipsum style tests, but you would have access to the answer key beforehand, and the goal would be to pass the test without your cheating method being detected. Obviously memorizing the entire answer key is the only foolproof way to cheat, but if you limit the amount of time you can see the key, it would force more innovative methods. For example having a partner with the key transmit the information to you somehow. The testing center will try to thwart you by making you take the test in a faraday cage, no phones, etc.

- gryn 6y agowasn't this the premise in Naruto's written exam test if I remember thing correctly? The teachers expected them to cheat since the exam was made very hard on purpose and the only ones who got eliminated were the one who were caught cheating. they were testing their spying abilities not academic knowledge (without the participants being told so beforehand). and if my memory is not failing me, they even placed fake participants in the exam room to be the source of the correct answers.
- gabythenerd 6y agoThat was the first thing I thought of, if anyone is interested the test is episode 23 and 24 of the anime [1]. [1] https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/The_First_Exam https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/The_First_Exam!!
