A university has torn down anti-cheating posters from its exam hall after realising they had answers to a maths exam written on them.
一所大學(xué)撤掉了張貼在教學(xué)樓里禁止作弊的海報，因為他們發(fā)現(xiàn)海報上的公式正是一次數(shù)學(xué)考試的答案。

【討論帖】你把公式抄在手上過嗎？你和同學(xué)在考場上傳過小紙條嗎？你還用過、看到過哪些小抄妙計？聊聊那些年的小抄，聊聊你的考場囧事兒～戳我進(jìn)帖>>>

Officials at Plymouth University installed the signs ahead of the summer exams season – but failed to realise that a stock image of a hand covered in scribbles contained genuine formulae.
普利茅斯大學(xué)在夏日考試季前張貼了“禁止作弊”的海報，但當(dāng)時沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)那幅手上寫滿小抄的海報上恰好有考試需要用到的公式！

Students have since claimed that spotting the notes gave them a boost in a final-year maths exam – with one estimating that he will now score 10 per cent higher than he would have without the help.
一名學(xué)生稱海報上的公式幫助他的期末數(shù)學(xué)考試成績提高了10%。

The formulae cover areas including probability, trigonometry and probability. It includes a version of the complicated De Moivre’s theorem.
海報圖中的公式涉及到了概率、幾何，還包括復(fù)雜的棣莫弗定理。

Exam bosses claim the sign would have been too far away for students to read it from their desks – but some have claimed the extra knowledge boosted their result by an entire grade.
監(jiān)考員稱海報離考試座位遠(yuǎn)著呢，學(xué)生一般看不清；但有些學(xué)生則稱這些公式對他們整個年級的成績提高都有幫助。

The picture chosen by officials appears to have come from Shutterstock, the stock photography website, and has the title: ‘hand of student with cheat sheet for math exam’.
學(xué)校選的這張海報來自Shutterstock圖片網(wǎng)站，圖片名稱是“寫滿數(shù)學(xué)考試小抄的手”。

Although parts of the hand are obscured by a large red circle with a line through the middle, substantial parts of the formulae are still visible.
雖然圖片被中間一個大大的紅杠擋住，但大部分公式還是看得清的。

The university did not realise the blunder until it was pointed out by student website The Plymouth Tab. It is unclear how many students could have been helped by the sign.
直到學(xué)生們在普利茅斯Tab網(wǎng)站上指出問題后學(xué)校才發(fā)現(xiàn)這個錯誤，目前還不清楚多少學(xué)生因此受益。

In a statement, the university told The Tab: 'the poster was located outside of the exam hall, and would therefore be of limited use to anyone prior to their sitting the exam. In light of the concerns raised, however, the University has replaced the posters.’
學(xué)校在Tab網(wǎng)上發(fā)表聲明稱：“貼在考試大廳外面的海報對考生的幫助是有限的。然而出于對已發(fā)生問題的擔(dān)憂，學(xué)校還是決定替換這批海報?！?/div>
