"What use is a 1-way communication device?"

Bluetooth can be 2 ways. But can the implanted device transmit far enough to be picked up by another device or to pick up the sound you are trying to send? Maybe...

As far as how to work it, many of these exams are standardized with a set number of questions. Let's say there are 1000 questions all together and you get tested on 100 of the 1000. You can work out a system where you can get the answers with minimum transmission to your confederate.

It's a lot of work. It seems easier to just study.

One of my economics teacher used to let us fill an index card with information for our exams. We could handwrite as much as we wanted and look at it as much as we needed. So every exam everyone had their card at hand. We would all brag about how small we were able to write. We had to do so much reading and writing to fill up the card that a lot of it stuck in our brain and we hardly needed it. It turned out to be the way he got his students to study. Pretty smart...



Interesting RE: index card, I had a teacher that allowed us to do the exact same thing. It was hilarious how much students were able to cram.


There was a kid at my school who wrote on both sides, on top of eachother with both red and blue pens. He then brought in red/blue 3d glasses, and would close one eye to filter out red/blue and read the notes.


Half my engineering exams were open book. If you did know the material you generally didn't have time to actually look it up so didnt matter.


I had an elective class that was open notes/book so I collected all the notes and resources the professor provided, put them into a single PDF, and then just text-searched them in the class. Worked well but the class was a joke and it didn't matter if I left knowing any of the material. Just had to check the box.
