As the desire to eliminate students’ cheating during examinations never ends, schools authority have limited the calculators that could be brought into a math-involved exam to several specific types. Meanwhile, students are hardly willing to surrender since they had more and more complicated cheating techniques, such as turning an outdated Casio calculator into a hacked calculator, which is fully-equipped and really "smart".
Particularly, a YouTube channel named Neutrino discovered that an OLED screen, wifi, and chatting feature can be installed on his Casio fx-991MS scientific calculator. Regarding the OLED display, a tiny screen was nearly the same size as the small solar panel that was used to empower the calculator. When the OLED display is switched off, it would look exactly similar to a solar cell.
But further than that, they did more updates to the calculator but still maintained its original appearance. In detail, an ESP8266 wifi module and a rechargeable battery are added to the Casio, which can be used with ease even under intense scrutiny.
Although adding WiFi to this boring Casio sounds pointless, several clever features are still available to use, including the ability to approach pre-uploaded data from Firebase - a mobile development platform. The data can be anything, from the most complex formulas for a physics paper to the most fundamental way to cite a source in your English test.
In terms of the chatting feature, users are enabled to use the function with pre-programmed questions and responses. Incredibly, they can avoid being noticed, and dominating the calculator’s keypad by using Neutrino’s smart interface that is supported by secret sensors and magnets.
Then many people will wonder how these functions will be activated. Honestly, it is totally not a simple task to be accomplished. The users will need a small magnet secretly attached to a pen cap or a pencil’s eraser to make a simple reed switch turn on the OLED display. Meanwhile, another more sensitive hall-effect sensor will navigate menus and control other manipulations by detecting the strength of a magnetic field.
Obviously, if you want to utilize these functions, you have to put a lot of effort as well as your intelligence. And the question raised here is: Is it worth spending such a long time just to use such a hacked calculator and cheat in an exam that could be passed more easily when you actually study?
