I would use what I guess is what they are looking for.
I have to fight real hard my will to "show" them that I know tricky ways
or smarter ways. Just plain old simple things, if they work, are the
best. KISS (Keep It Simple 'n Stupid).

Sometimes it is really hard to find what is that they are looking for
though. I've approached the proctor with 4 different options on some
topics! Is it that ? No... And this ? No... What about this ? No...
Could it be this ?? No... Arggg! Then this ? And finally the poker face! :-)

Some requirements do seem open for many options, but (my feeling is)
they are looking for one answer.
