    I would allow it, it’s brilliant. The main learning benefit of cheat sheets comes from writing them, not from using them.

      As someone who spent a few years teaching math, this would be a cause for celebration! I would have had a classroom pizza party the next day. This is creative usage of problem solving math that I could only dream about a classroom of students could come up with.

      This. Most classes in uni allowed us to have a limited number of cheat sheets and after writing them I rarely used them. Open book exams are a different beast though.

        One of my math professors would always ask if people wanted an open book take home exam or an in person exam. Those who had taken his classes before knew to never vote for the take home open book, but were always outweighed by the new folks. Hardest exams I took in college by a large margin

    I mean, defining the cheat sheet limitation in such a way for Math students is really just asking for it …

      If the parameter is that it’s 1 sided then you don’t need to be this creative, just have a longer sheet

        I think the joke here is the one sided part. Paper sheet has two sides.

        The shape student is using is called möbious strip and its pretty famous mathematical object for being shape with only one plane. Another one is Klein bottle and im sure there are other ones too.

        Yeah, but that would make them have two sides, one (or both) with writing on it.
