	No - worst case is you get nothing. If the person is using proxy 
services, it'll be hard to impossible to trace him/her.

In an Astronomy class (toward an Astronomy major, not that gen-ed crap) 
the professor did not tell us we would have to remember constants, and 
he asked them as questions. They were short questions, and weren't worth 
a lot.

One of them was: What is the orbital period of Saturn? (2 pts/100)

I started thinking about Bode's law and the posibility I could calculate 
it from an approximate radius I would get from that law... if I could 
remember it. But when you expect a 72% to be an A on a test, you have 
bigger fish to fry.

Then I got it. It was right, it should work, and no one would have to be 
nailed to anything.

I wrote: One Saturn-Year

I didn't get credit for it. A couple years later a sophomore was telling 
me about this funny question he had in the same class. He showed it to 
me. It read:

What is the orbital period of Saturn? (Do not put one Saturn-Year)

I was so right that it had to be guarded against. Yet those were 2 
points I would never have.
