Pass The Exam
Basically the problem concerned a student who didn’t stop writing his exam paper when the bell rang. So when he went to place his test booklet on top of the rest of the pile a good five minutes after everyone else had handed theirs in, the professor in charge said he needn’t bother since he had automatically failed. “Do you have any idea who I am?” sneered the student. “No and I couldn’t care less,” replied the prof. So how can the student pass – assuming of course that s/he’s not the failing type?

The student was Clark Kent (as Superboy). During the exam he had been off saving the world and flying at near light speed. Due to time dilation, he had in fact completed the exam within the number of minutes allowed, in his own time-frame.
Flaws in the argument is that Superboy isn't real and he'd have to give his secret identity away :)
He would shuffle his paper into the stack so the Prof wouldn't know which one it was.
The student had handed in the exam on time and went back to his desk to write his evaluation of the course, which was optional, and no one else did.
It was Uri Geller bending the rules.
Hi Cordell, nice answer.
The only thing that i can think of is that s/he has some medical condition that allows him/her to get more exam time.

He's the boss's son
hey WoO, you a kansan?
I think that he is the teacher's child.
He'd have to be very absent minded to not recognise his own son.
I think Cordell has given the correct answer.
I meant the professor's boss, not the professor.
No, I'm not a Kansan. Why do you ask?
He is the son of the University's president
He was deaf and did not hear the bell.
the question was picked from this old video-

the student gave the exam to superman, which flew three times around the earth with speed faster than light, and gave the exam to the professor right on time....

If he had gone roun even more, he could have handed it in before the exam paper had been written #~@!
I think that was on movie I saw once. Slackers maybe?
Since the professor did not know who the student was, he could not have known which student to fail.That's assuming that the student randomly shoved the paper in the stack.
