The best thread you'll ever see in a Computer Science forum

[Q]

During my senior year we truly group collaborated. The members of our group made 4 different sets of solutions in 4 different classes and shared them with our members. This way I didn't have to study 3 of the 4 classes during the semester. Come exam time we just got together and the person who did the work would tutor us to pass the exams. I did the java programming class. It was fun actually coming up with 4 different solutions to the same problem, using loops/subroutines or nested if statements. I did reserve the right to use the most efficient method for myself (as did the others who took the best reports/whatnot for themselves).

Eh, got me through 23.5 credits in one semester (+internship).

So everybody would put code/write down one of the four solutions on their exam? I'd assume most all would do whatever was easiest to memorize, so what was the point of doing the group? ie. wouldn't it still be easy for the professor to tell a group was formed? I'm just confused, funny story regardless.

He is saying that only those 4 shared the 4 possibilities.

You have Asshat, Dirtbag, NutSac, and ButtPlug each taking Remedial Algebra, English for the illiterate, Fingerpainting 101, and Advanced Macrame.

Each picks one of the classes and develops 4 sets of homework to turn in.

This ensures the circle jerk bonds for life.

OK, I didn't catch that there were only four people in the group.
