Looking for both philosophical and real world examples including situation-specific ones like one field of study that it would versus another where it wouldn’t. Idk I’m bored as shit and wanna discuss something.

When I was in high school, I wrote a TI-86 program in BASIC to do geography/physics formulae. Like “find the volume of a cube” and then it would ask you for the variables and solve for whichever one was missing.
My teachers found out and actually ruled it not cheating because I wrote the program myself and hadn’t shared it with everyone. (I eventually became a computer programmer so they were probably right.)
So, I’d say by that precedent, as long as you gave yourself the tattoo and learned a new trade, it’s fine. But looking at a friend’s tattoo would be cheating.
I programmed my TI-83 with some basic maths programs but we all had to wipe the memory before exams. I still miss the tetris game i had on that thing :(
I think the difference here is being able to program a solver for formulae implies an understanding of the formulae being solved, specifically the ones the exam tests for. I’m not sure your teachers would have given you credit for tattooing some formula on your chest.
I wrote programs to solve statistics questions on my calculator, which was apparently fine at in class but not allowed for exams
The invigilators would go around checking your calculator had been cleared and reset before the exam.
So i wrote a program that replicated the reset screen. Totally worked. Didn’t use my stats program in the exam anyway.
