Why do it if it's not fun?

NH,

I think this rule about not having an Alpha key is rather outdated - it's really not possible to find any calculators which don't have an Alpha key any more, unless you're going to restrict yourself which can't do much more than +, -, * and /

I don't remember the model number of the calculator I used, but I know it had an Alpha key, as did the calculators which all of my class-mates used. I think that the way the invigilators interpret this rule is that you shouldn't use a calculator which is very obviously programmable, i.e. can store formulae for later use.
