I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and while making use of the towel dispenser, what should I find but this:

Hmm, indeed; interesting that a notecard with a number of important looking equations on it has been placed gently atop the trash in the bin. How convenient for anyone who happened to forget the trapezoidal rule in the middle of an exam, and also happened to need to use the restroom.
Ah, the things one finds fascinating when one is bored, on the job, and adamantly avoiding schoolwork.

If you were *really* bored on the job and trying to avoid schoolwork, you could have tampered with the equations on the card. :)
Ha ha, good idea! I briefly thought about pushing it down into the trash, so that the cheater would have to dig the card out if they were really desperate, but I’m not that mean ;)
Did you leave it there? Ooh, I would have been tempted to sabotage. You know, add a “+3x” or something to the end of an equation. Or replace it with a notecard lecturing the person about cheating. So many possibilities.
Oops, I should have read the previous comments before posting my own. I was just overflowing with devious ideas. :) Sorry.
That’s okay, hehe ;) I didn’t want to do anything cause I’ve been there before (well not hidden a cheat card in the bathroom, but been ridiculously stressed out over exams, especially math). It might have been smarter, though, if she had hidden it in a stall instead of inside the trash. Especially since a bunch of math profs use that bathroom!
