Given the usual uproar and commotion that posting a "homework question" causes, I propose a new "section": Obfuscated Homework. This would not be an official section, but more of a combination of Perl Golf, Obfuscation, and SOPW. When a homework is posted, the contest begins: we shall answer the question (correctly) but in the most ugly, obfuscated, platform-dependent, bug-inducing, horrible way possible. Bonus points for putting in obscure features to tip off any teacher that the work was stolen. And no fair pretending to be a new user and posting homework. You know who you are. :)

    Only problem with that, is people not knowing the 'game' may think these horrible, bug inducing programs are real answers.

        No, I am talking about real people not looking for homework answers, but real solutions to their real problems.
