A short clip from the film Spies Like Us in which unprepared characters take a CIA agent test and Chevy Chase cheats his way through it.
Used as a joke reference in threads about cheating, fraud and exam proctoring.

paid hundreds of euros for the silicone prosthetic And probably a lot more in fines. Surely finding a less than ethical nurse or technician to bribe would be easier and possibly less risk since they can just decline before you give your name. How inebriated would a nurse have to be to think a prosthetic arm is real? I suppose if one were to try this, at least give it the old college try and put that arm in a sling and cast so you can't be expected to make a fist or move your arm.

> Now students have ChatGPT to write their papers and they've been practicing how to use cell phones without the teacher noticing for 10 years before getting to college. Colleges will need to remodel the rooms where these tests are given to become large SCIF type rooms so that wireless communication is not possible. Let the students go back to writing on their arms, wearing eye patches, or shoving notes up their casts. Yeah, I've probably seen Spies Like Us a couple of times: this video
Or the over-the-top cheating scene with Chevy Chase from "Spies Like Us" this video It's nearly 40 years old and it still makes me laugh every time.
