IT Cheat Sheets

When I attended public elementary school , they had these quiz books that had the answers covered in a light-red overprint. When the exercise had been completed, the teacher would pass out these "wands" that had a transparent-red film on them. We could then hover the wand over the red-out answer to magically reveal the answers! How cool was that!

So we quickly learned a neat hack: At lunchtime we would scour the playground for bits of red-film candy wrappers (like wrapped up those hot cinnamon candies) and we could use those to reveal the answers pre-wand handout. Oh, we thought we were so clever. Of course, if you got busted, it was a trip down to the principal's office.

I've previously posted about a Google cheat-sheet, but got digging and found quite a few more nice ones. There is quite a lot of cross-linking in there, so pick your favorites and bookmark those.

Just don't get caught by the teacher!
