Cheaters never prosper

Wow. I'd like to think that graduate students have some intelligence, but it seems that some of the first-year graduate students have decided to plagiarize one another in problem sets.

A pair of students somehow managed to start a problem with two different sets of notation, yet somehow miraculously end up with the same set of answers--down to the punctuation and lack of spacing. There were a few other minor differences, but did I also mention that these are the only two students who used Microsoft Word to prepare their solutions?

And worse still, the plagiarized answers were wrong. If you're going to cheat, at least cheat from someone who has the correct answers!
