New Delhi: A Spanish law student came up with an ingenious method to pass his exam. He chose to artistically engrave the answers on his pens. The student was exposed a few years back but the trick came to light when his teacher shared the pictures of the pens confiscated from him on the social media.
Yolanda de Lucchi, a professor at the University of Malaga, took to Twitter to share the pictures of the 11 pens, each with tiny writing etched across the plastic body of the blue biros.
The student, during the exam of criminal procedural law, etched the answers of the questions on the diameter of his pens, that were confiscated.
The pictures of those 11 pens shared last week have gone viral on the social media. The post has so far garnered a whooping 3.8 lakh likes and more than 24,000 retweets.
"Tidying up my office, I found this university relic that we confiscated from a student a few years ago: criminal procedural law in bic pens. What art," professor Lucchi captioned the post on Twitter.
Replying to the post, a user wrote, "I have only been able to deduce that it was a criminal procedure by taking a photo and enlarging."
Another said, "As you can see that they are young, that with presbyopia is illegible."
One Twitter user who replied to the post claimed to be a friend of the student.
“Hello Yolanda. I know the author of that wonderful work perfectly. In fact, he has authorized me, ignoring his name, logically, to show you some more that he still keeps at home. The technique used by the artist, as he himself tells me, was to replace the graphite lead of a mechanical pencil with a needle, which made it super easy for him to etch the pen,” said the user.
