If the student is actively trying to avoid learning something, there's
nothing you can do to help them. They're just wasting their own time
and money.
The fun part is giving them a solution that's so obscure and "clever"
that it technically meets the stated requirement but is so far from
what the instructor wanted that they don't get credit for it (and
there's no way the student will be able explain how it works to the
instructor).
