Spoiling the Paper
If the burn, tear and pencil marks can spoil the paper, doesn't the water from the sprinklers spoil it too? I mean sure it will dry with time but the lead can also be erased, not sure though. Thoughts?
shareit was also stated that "the only rules in here are our rules". so, if the invigilator (or CEO) decides that wet paper is not spoiled paper, then it isn't.
shareWhat a cop out. That basically is saying that 'spoiled' is vague and can mean anything he wants it to mean, without telling you in clear terms what it is, and leaving you guessing. Go ahead, wet it. Take the risk. Don't blame us if we decide to eject you.
shareI actually thought that as well to be honest "wouldnt getting the paper wet count as spoiling the paper?". They were taking a risk with rule number 2 there
shareI agree OP i thought that as well, also i noticed both times with the burned paper and Deaf eating the paper that the security guard didnt remove them immediately and only moved on them once another candidate made it known that the spoiled paper rule was broken.
Come on, you apes! you wanna live forever?
It's probably more a matter of the guard being told in his earbud to remove someone and till he's told so he doesn't do anything.
Most papers were wet in that scene, that would probably have removed too many candidates so they chose to let it go.
it was also stated that "the only rules in here are our rules". so, if the invigilator (or CEO) decides that wet paper is not spoiled paper, then it isn't.
That isn't at all what that statement meant. The meaning is that only the company's rules applied - not those of the government or the outside world.
That is why the candidates felt so emboldened to commit actions that would otherwise result in prison time. share
