Kind of. A college professor assigned a programming assignment for homework which I swear we had not covered the material required to implement it in class. They had however lazily assigned it from the textbook. So I went onto eMule (I know, right?) and found to teacher's guide and worked backwards from the solution to try to understand it. Then I wrote my own solution. It still didn't work perfectly though lol.

Oh once in high school, the smart kid memorised the multiple choice answers to the science test which they had in first period. They shared it at lunch time. We all memorised it or wrote it on something like an eraser. Needless to say, the next day, the whole class was given a new test and a firm talking to.
