I once caught a class of 72 people doing exactly this! I stopped, counted the people in the class and found that there were four more answers than there were noses in the class. I reacted someone sternly threatening them with academic misconduct if they continued the practice even though I had no idea who was actually doing the cheating. But the perpetrators weren't too bright because they stopped answering for their buddies right then and there on question #11. So, for four people, they had answers 1-11 and then nothing from 12 on. I chuckled when I saw how easy it was to catch them. They were called in to my office and dealt with appropriately. Hope this helps.
