2.  student id is checked (no driver's license or whatever) at this

3.  student takes test with id face up on the desk.
4.  student shows id to professor on exit to the front entrance.

Some combonations of two of these was tried previously, but students
always found a way around them.

How I wish it was true that cheaters never win...
