I have copied the source code of a test from Blackboard and then once I received the answers went back to the source code and looked extensively for any patterns or arrays and have not found any and believe me I have spent many hours looking. I have also read on other websites that the answers are kept on a "server". But I am not sure about that. It is unfortunate when assholes like Octel come to a forum and make statements and then not give any details or even respond to others requests. This would have been a nice bit of information to share with others but as I said, I doubt Octel's claim. For those asking for help from Octel don’t get your hopes up.

Some of the comments are more interesting than the article. I'm not usually one to spit on nostalgia, but come on people... I'd like to see more modern day hacking/cheating systems. Hacking circa 1993 is too lame. Wow….this is depressing. Some of the comments are more interesting than the article.

The quiz is done in flash and it's about 120 random questions. The quiz allows you to save your process and one thing i noticed is that when you restored your progress you didn't have the same question as when you had saved all that was the same was the number of wrong answers and how many questions left. So what I ended up doing is when I came across a question I didn't know the answer i would save and quit then continue to be given a new question. reminds of the gearhead quiz on the top gear website.
