In 6.111, the digital systems lab, one year there was a particularly
careless cheater.  The lab assignments required designing a system to
the given specifications and then building it.  Students would
sometimes cheat by using the design of a student who'd taken the
course in a previous term.  One year, someone wired up his kit from
someone else's old lab 3 design *without noticing that the new lab 3
had entirely different specs*.  He was caught when he asked the TA to
help him figure out why his kit wasn't working.
