Why would viewing HTML+JS source-code reveal correct answers to a school quiz? It certainly doesn’t have to.

  Maybe a case of shortsightedness, thinking, that they need to solve it in a javascript single page app framework and then forgot the basics about client server architecture, sending the solutions to the frontend, to check them right there. A beginner mistake.

    Or just nobody did care. Contractor's main expense are kickbacks and actual product is made by cheapest subcontractor.

      ... then don't that behaviour lead to a browser that honours the cheap stakes? Any script that was doing a password comparison client-side was laughed at in the past -- rightly so --, but now that MS & Google see a business case it's fine? (And a password being a secret, is basically the same as the answer to a question).
