While we don't see Hinata cheat, we don't really see her not cheat either. We just see her worring about Naruto. You could say that we see all the other characters cheating - but the show also explicitly points out the characters who don't cheat (Naruto because he's too stupid, and Sakura because she's too smart). Hinata is left in the void between shown to be a cheater and shown not to cheat.
Personally, I think she cheated. She had the means (Byakugan) and motive (make sure Naruto passes). While she might be hesitant about cheating (read as: doesn't cheat) in normal situations, the test was clearly a special case (not too hard to figure out that you need to cheat) and her loyalties to both Naruto and her squad would drive to extremes. |

I love the written test bit, but did anyone else think the examiner's explanation of it was a little shallow? 'in the real world, you'll have to gather information without being noticed', sure, they're ninja, but when would they ever have to do it while surrounded by people watching them to see how many times they talk to their pet bugs?

The fact that we didn't see Hinata cheating is because she used byakugan and since they had already shown Neji it wasn't necessary to show it twice. And the best part about the written test is defenitly the existence of the moustache guy. No written test no moustache then no fun on this forum so of course it is a necessary thing

Think about how long we can go on about this...
Because they showed Neji it might have been unneeded to shown Hinata also. But because they didn'te show Hinata we'll never know. Think about it all you want, it hopeless.... But for what its worth, I think that she cheated |

Well, someone had to be the first to figure something out... Though for the shuriken question, he'd probably have to know a bit about Newton and such... There's also a couple of math terms, but I don't know them in English... But that's why I was saying Hinata and Sakura might actually be able to do them...

i don't get it, what's the problem with Hinata cheating?? Wasn't the test made for that purpose, the test was made to see how good they are in retrieving information so if she is a bit smarter than Naruto she would have noticed that, and used Byakukan to get the answers, if she didn't cheated then she is almost as smart as Sakura without having that Large Forehead that is

Hey! What're you trying to pull? "Most likely" ?? She could have done either, but I don't think she has the personality to cheat... How do you think she would be if she got caught 5 times and be responsible for Kiba and Shino failing? Her eyes would pop out due to the massive amount of tears she'd cry...

Don't know if Hinata is smart enough to answer all the questions, but she should be smart enough to know the objective of the test. If she knows about it then cheating wouldnt have made her feel uncomfortable. So my guess is that she did what she was supposed to do, cheat.
About the questions in the paper, how many were math/physics related anyways? I only remember the shiruken one... |

With an IQ of over 200, shikamaru wouldn't have had that hard of a time figuring out how to solve a math problem up to about the calc 1 level. That's part of what being a genius is. Plus, as long as he attended class, he would get exposed to all the info he'd need to have a base knowledge to work out more advanced problems. Still given how lazy he is, it's far more likely he just let Ino do her mind swap thing and take the test for him. The sign of a true [lazy] genius.

Shikamaru's geinus-ness isn't book oriented, but rather in tactics. He has a good sense of how people will react, can judge strengths and weaknesses, and can formulate battle plans, of which none really have to do with geometry, chemistry, lingustics, etc. The question(s) Sakura answered - she said that the question involved both a high level of book smarts AND experience, which almost no one at the Genin level had. If you haven't studied physics, you can't piece together what's going on no matter what your IQ is. |
