Hi

We wrongly accused a student team of cheating on an IF-AT (see attached)

At first glance they seem to know where the stars were....partial scratches
just barely revealing stars

Turns out when we compared handness (i.e. Students that scratch from --
right, left and middle -- each has an  anomalous pattern of ³coincidence²)

There still are some anomalous scratches on the attached IF-AT.....but it
took away our confidence to call it cheating
