Clive Morris, a 19-year-old freshman at City University of London, recently discovered a clever workaround in an app called Math Miracle, which is designed to assist with math homework. After reverse-engineering the app’s codebase, he found a hidden developer mode intended for testing the app on homework assignments from all subjects. Despite the app already being a bargain at 10 pounds, Morris was determined to unlock its full potential to handle all his homework (and not just math), potentially saving him hours each day.
Despite his efforts, Morris struggled with the code for three days, growing increasingly frustrated. In a twist of fate, while randomly taking photos with his app, he accidentally captured an image of a paper with the word “chillies” written on it, which unexpectedly activated the mysterious developer mode. This breakthrough allowed the app to solve all his homework assignments, freeing up time for Morris to pursue a part-time software engineering internship at IBM.
Our reporter, Edward, tested the hack himself to verify its effectiveness and was surprised to find that it indeed worked. The Math Miracle app only had two reviews on app store and seemed like a new app which explains why such an easy workaround exists. Below are a few screenshots from Edward’s testing.
