I have a bad feeling that we're going to start hearing this
argument from some of our students soon....

  "It was obvious to us, Professor, that the complexity of
   problems three and four were so great that we were not
   authorized to solve them.  While we could have solved
   them, rest assured, doing so would have required
   abrogating our high moral and ethical standards."
