The article discusses an unusual incident during the Bulgarian high school exam (matura) in literature and language, where 100 students submitted identical or nearly identical responses, leading to the annulment of their exams. The article speculates that this could have been due to external assistance, such as using a small device like a grain of rice-sized listening device placed in the ear canal, or even AI tools like ChatGPT. The Ministry of Education has not confirmed whether all affected students were from the same city or different regions, leaving the situation unresolved.
