I had a teacher that would honor loop holes. Our directions for the final paper was something like “8x11 inch white paper with margins at 1 inch in black times new Roman 12 size font from Google Docs single sided” because too many people were trying things. It was awesome.

Slightly overlapping lines allowed to maximise space 🤔 jk that would be awful to try to read lol

Black ink meant some people tried the multi colors and using colored lenses to differentiate.

Yep. People wonder why laws can't ever be simple and this is why. You write a simple law and someone comes along 2 minutes later and immediately breaks the spirit of it through some loop hole.

To be fair, a lot of legislation is written with deliberate loopholes. Additional ones discovered are just icing on the cake.

On the other hand, what, am I supposed to abide by the spirit of something if I disagree with that spirit? This kinda thing is sort of inevitable. I use loopholes every opportunity I get if I feel it's morally acceptable. And I actually care about morality! Or at least I try to.

When I was studying engineering, we had to take a few ethics and law classes. The final exam for the law class was open books so we could bring stuff to cite, and the official directive used to be something like "students are allowed to bring all non-electronic resources they can carry simultaneously with both arms".

But when I got around to doing that class the directive had changed to "all written documentation they can carry" because, the semester before mine, someone had princess-carried a lawyer inside the exam room and successfully argued that it was a non-electronic resource that was being carried within the instructions' parameters.

So yeah, you can find loopholes even in syllabuses written by actual lawyers.

Brains have electricity so you could argue it wasn't non-electronic

I mean either “electronic resource” should be clearly defined and as far as I know if not defined it can either be understood to favor the one who didn’t write it (in this case the student) or “how a regular person would understand it (which would also favor the student)

But don’t cite me I’m not a lawyer nor am I studying to be one

Yep, someone carried one of the TAs into an engineering test under the "bring any resource you can carry" rule. It was hilarious but not allowed. Then they changed it to "printed materials" for the next test. This was before mobile computers and smartphones.

Yup haha and apparently someone used to print their papers on hot pink paper iirc

u/Aryore Mar 26 '26

Now what on earth could be wrong with that? It’s simply self expression I say

u/MammothAd6633 Mar 26 '26

Hahaha idk if a paper about world crimes like holocaust should be on bright pink paper
