It seems that a student in a very large university class (one of those classes that fill an auditorium) was taking the final exam. The students were instructed to place the completed exams in a stack on a table in the front of the room, after which they were free to leave. This one student walked up to the table with the completed exam and started looking through the stack of exams left by the other students who had all ready finished. After looking at several of the papers, the student erased a couple of his original answers and wrote in new answers. Needless to say, the instructor was appalled by this blatant cheting and asked the student what he was doing. Not wanting to tell a lie, the student said "Changing my answers to what the others have." The instructor reminded the student that this behavior was in violation of the university's rules and was punishable by such actions as receiving a score of zero on the exam, failing the course and expulsion from the university. The student, somewhat self assuredly, asked the instructor if he happened to know his name. Being a large class, the instructor had not even attempted to learn all the student's names, and replied "No, I don't know your name." Then the student turned to the students still in the classroom and asked, "Do any of you know my name?" When nobody responded, the student took his exam and put it in the middle of the stack of completed exams and walked out of the room.
