Teachers and Professors of Reddit what is the cleverest (or dumbest) way you've seen a student cheat?

Smart/Conniving/GoingToHellforThis cheating story:

My friend in high-school, well "friend" as in one of the guys who smoked weed with in the parking lot, was your total good-fer-nothing ruffian. Got in fights, pranks, trouble etc, but somehow managed to get pretty decent grades (apparently because he would get his ass royally beat by his dad if he got below a B in anything).

He cheated a lot and many of us did too since most teachers were pretty lazy but no one ever cheated Math class with Mr. Dukowicz. Mr. Dukowicz took his job very seriously. During tests most teachers would either make a show of it or just hand out tests and sit on their desks to read the newspaper/do paperwork whatever. Very little oversight.

Duko on the other hand, would patrol for the entire period. He'd make sure to not do it in a regular pattern either, quickly turning around unexpectedly like some annoying npc in a stealth game. He once caught a girl on her phone (she wasn't even cheating, just texting) and ripped her test paper into little pieces in front of her and told her to get out.

So my friend was decently smart, other than doing dumb highschool shit for attention, at most humanities subjects but not at math. He came up with a plan. He had a really hot girlfriend (bad boys in highschool duh) who'd do anything for him because he was psychologically manipulative in that way.

He started by getting her to get Duko's number (a month before the test too!). He'd take her phone and start sending him texts, at first just friendly but then slightly more suggestive etc. Duko responded! Mostly talking about how lonely he was after his divorce etc while the convo from the "girlfriend's" phone was that she'd broken up with my friend and didn't think guys her age were mature enough yada yada yada.

Coming near the test, he sends nude/semi-nude pics from his girls phone to Duko. Duko responds favorably, although my friend was hoping for dick pics. Still, he gets a screenshot of the whole salacious conversation and puts it in an envelope with instructions.

Fill this envelope with the test questions and tape it to the front of your door...or else.

I washed my hands clean of this shit when after I heard what he was gonna do and didn't see the papers myself or anything (was good enough at math to scrape by) but my friend got a straight A for the first time in his life in Math.
