Me personally? I obey orders without question. Or even much thought.

Others who have been around 30+ years and have tenure? They complain about the decline in standards over coffee, then obey orders without question.

I didn't say I was proud of myself.

There are web sights. Where you can type your answers onto water and soft drink labels. Then print them out and wrap them around your beverage. It's definitely a society where cheating and short cuts are perfectly acceptable.
