Avoiding homework with code and getting caught
Not exactly the same, but in the late 80s I've written some Amiga Basic (or was it AMOS?) programs to do all the variations of my algebra homework. Maybe that's why I suck at maths today...

Probably AMOS, unless you were using an A1000 running OS 1.x. I don't think Amiga Basic worked on anything else.

It was Amiga 500, and it was either 1988 or 89. Amiga Basic most definitely worked on the A500 (although it's equal chance I used it or Amos).

It might have worked on a 500, but it definitely didn't work on OS 2 or newer.

I'm not sure how this relates to what I said but no worries. All good.
