I remember discovering a similar (maybe the same) bug in my typing classes. I was a fairly good typist, so I would finish the assignment as quickly as I could and then play games on the computer. The teacher wasn't very happy with this and wanted me to continue typing. So, in frustration and boredom, I just typed a bunch of spaces and was quite surprised when it accepted it as correct. I told a few of my friends about this and it quickly spread. The teacher became suspicious of the scores, and I got blamed for discovering the flaw. The teacher then decided she had to watch me complete every one of the typing excercises to make sure I wasn't cheating. Luckily for me, after a few weeks of that she let me go back to completing the assignments quickly and playing games. I still wish my school would have had a more knowledgeable computer teacher to push me to do programming excercises or something more productive than wasting that time playing games.
