    See this was kinda at the core of the question (but I wasn’t really able to articulate it at the time). What if someone was just a huge enough nerd that they were already walking around with some kind of reference sheet tattooed on?

      If the test’s purpose is to prove you have retained knowledge, wouldn’t a tattoo be a permanent retention of that knowledge?
