If any of you go to college you've probably had to to take one of these exams or something similar. Basically it's an exam booklet you have to buy to be able to take a written exam. They range from fifty cents to a dollar at some places.

A friend of mine said they are very strict about what Blue Books you use and you have to buy them at certain places. To prove him wrong, I'm taking an exam tomorrow with this:

If it works, I'm going to print hundreds of copies and replace them in the bookstores where you buy these and see how long it takes people to notice.

I like it! OOH, that brings back memories of my first year in college. It was in England. LOTS of essay examinations. No way I could hand-write that much, that fast now, 28 years later. (too many wrist, shoulder, and arm fractures in the intervening years)

Nice work, Nomad. Change Examination to Conflagration and see if anyone notices that too.

I use those in my classes, but the school wont let me tell the students to supply their own, so I have to order them in bulk from the intermall, and then submit a compensation request.

If my students were buying them on their own, I wouldn't care if they were not the right brand or whatever, the main point for me is that I got tired of grading written exams on notebook paper that was not all the same size, and which often had frayed edges from wire-bound notebooks... I like having a bunch of booklets that are all the same size and general configuration.

The thing about it is: In all my years in academia, I've never seen any other brand of blue-book. They have all looked exactly the same and been the same size, color, shape, and slogan. I never realised that there were 'off brand' blue books, and I wont believe it 'til I see it :p

I think once they are noticed, yours will be significantly more popular.
