There's an old story about the philosophy department at the
university of Melbourne where I studied for my undergraduate
degree (I don't know if it's truth or legend). The
philosophy department had apparently given identical
questions on an exam paper in consecutive years, and were
called on it.
Their response was "yes, but the answers are different
this year".
