"John Soong, 18, says that after he had failed to get jobs at several
chains that use the test, he began to poke around for an answer key,
driven by "altruistic, and maybe vengeful," motives. In a discussion
section of a Wikipedia entry, he saw a mention of a set of Unicru
statements and answers that had been posted there but removed. Using
privileges as a volunteer Wikipedia administrator, which gave him
access to deleted page histories, Mr. Soong, a University of Virginia
student, was able to recover the answer key and re-post it on
Facebook."
