-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.18 Feb 2005

In an examination, if you concealed a text book somewhere on your person, and attempted to cheat by looking in the text book for the answers, but failed because you brought the wrong text book by mastake, then you'd still be punished if you were caught doing it regardless of whether or not you were actually able to obtain the information you wanted from the text book. It follows that any attempt to pray during an examination - with the intention of asking God for the answers - should be forbidden, regardless of whether or not God answers, and even if you're praying to a God who doesn't exist (like -=Muslim=-). The only known method of preventing prayer transmissions from an individual is to wrap his hands in tin foil - the hands, when clasped together as is customary during the prayer ritual, act as a spiritual beacon, relaying your thoughts to God (but only if you say "Amen" at the end, obviously) and receiving His responses.
