Idea being, if you respond to a homework question with an obfu answer that clearly is beyond the scope of education so far, and the cheater^Wstudent copies said answer into the homework, the instructor will know that the student has cheated. Brilliant solution to a repeated problem, I say. And if it's not really homework, the person will likely come back and say "oh, what does this do?". At which point, you can hand out the bucket of clues. -- Randal L.
