Here in NZ they do a factory reset on your calculator at the start of every exam.

Oh I would have been so pissed. I was programming on my calculator 24/7 instead of my classes.

I wrote a sudoku "editor"

I put that in quotes because I had a grid that could be navigated, arrows moved, storing the numbers, had number entry down, and then I learned the hard way what p vs np is.

They did that here too, but students would use a cheat program that made it look like teachers were resetting it, but really the memory was safe

I don't remember if they fully closed the loopholes, but there are inputs that programs cannot catch unless you actually replace the OS.
