Skill Testing Question Exploder

Has anyone written this one? Seen such a thing? Please send me a link:

Skill Testing Question Exploder
---------------------------------------------

Basically the plan is to create the javascript powered form one can
surf to to bypass cheating via Window calculator for Skill Testing
Question tests.

One simply copys the Skill Testing Question from the Contest Webpage
and pastes it into the Javascript form.
Click next the button.
The final answer appears in the box beside the showing of how the
question was a string "exploded" to identify the parts and confirm two
different ways the answer.
It shows the order of operations and gives reference to "exploding
strings" on others parts of the javascript archive.

A string such as:
"Skill-Testing Question: (2225/5) x 2 - 680 ="
or
"(2225/5) x 2 - 680 ="
is separated into component numbers and operations, the operands and
brackets identified to suggest which order such as multiplication and
division are to be done, and the equation is solved.
Eventually it becomes, for those contest addicted, an optional right
click function.

First signs prior joining the mafia practically?

The answer is trivial to get. If the question is always followed by a :
and it doesn't appear anywhere else, then you split the string on : get
the second element of the resulting array, remove the = and eval the
string. There's your answer.

In IE, you could write a bookmarklet (and probably other browsers)
whereby you highlighted the text, click a bookmarklet that will read the
highlighted text, eval it, and place the answer in the clipboard. You
simply paste it then.

Do you have *this* much trouble with your Math homework that you have to
cheat at it?
