We were told to do that... >_> Our school ran out of string and only had a few pieces leftover from before... so we got told to take a piece of string and unravel since it'll give us "three pieces which should work"...

>_>

A whole new meaning to the word 'cheap' eh?

(btw I'm aware there's another string topic- but this is a different issue^^ and YAY no more english.. ever!)

Well tomorrow is Maths... 7 sections. Some people might need more than 3 pieces of string.. does that mean they might ask us to turn around and share the unravelled pieces?

Are you always this moronic, or are you making a special effort today?

By writing more, you have the ability to add more content, which results in a higher mark. Also, what markers decide that they don't want to read an entire essay? These people are quite aware that they are influencing students' lives.

And that's likely to happen. Even ignoring the legal repercussions, do you remember signing a blue sheet with the amount of booklets you used? If not, then perhaps you filled in the "number of booklets used for this question" box?

It was a valiant attempt at justifying your lack of writing. Honestly, it was.
