Criticism of your lecturer using humour:

There are NN computer science university lecturers;
A lecturer creates hard to read questions, because he / she is a bad communicator.
A poor student has to read and understand the awfully worded question.
Assignment: Using Java write a program that hacks the lecturer's laptop, to teach them a lesson.

Apologies for my humour, it's so annoying when lecturers set hard to read questions. Wishing you luck with this one ☺
