Thats true, but to frig it you would need to know how to read 
and interpret html form code and how to manually construct 
a GET url string complete with correct escape characters etc.

It isn't impossible but simply answering the quiz is a lot easier! ;-)

In fact any kid smart enough to do all of that probably deserves 
to marks anyhow, regardless of cheating!
