Ohh this brings back memories of physics test of long long ago.  I was busy
writing the answers to the questions, my right had was already occupied
with a pencil.  As not to loose much time I used my left hand and missed
the question.  It took a long time to figure out how I missed it but hey
you didn't tell people to use their right hand to use the right-hand-rule
either
