In math you sometimes see multiple-choice questions that ask for the "hash" of the answer (eg. find the complex root of this polynomial... and tell me the sum of its real and imaginary parts) that are supposed to prevent you from doing this kind of thing. They do take the fun out of having multiple choice questions though :)

You also sometimes see questions that look superficially like thay, where the "hash" is actually easier to computer.
Eg. Given a polynomial with real coeficients, find the complex roots and tell me the sum of their imaginary parts.
