gollark: I also wrote a chat program in about 30 lines of easily memorable python which uses that convenient IPv4 broadcast address, because I wanted a version of my multicast chat thing which was less ridiculously fragile. So you could also plausibly cheat using that.
gollark: You could actually just use the HTTP thing to download code off pastebin too I guess.
gollark: No, you don't have access to your usual network drive.
gollark: So in theory (I said this to them, and apparently I wouldn't have enough time to cheat so it didn't matter, which would have been wrong as I in fact had lots of spare time) you could access the internet by manually sending HTTP requests from python and parsing the HTML, yes.
gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.
