I did that on the BC AP exam. Well, I didn't actually write "these calculations are an exercise to the grader," but I was solving a problem a really silly way that would have required about ten sheets of paper to do the calculations so instead I filled the little box with an essay about how I would solve the problem and why it would work.

awesome.

this is from my 07 mathcamp app, at the end of question 10:

This information was originally created, in its perfected entirety, by a group of mathematicians from your organization who had nothing better to do. However, a group of radical environmentalists who heard a rumor that this organization is solely responsible for the extinction of the Bothan species, broke into the mathematicians’ laboratories late one night and destroyed their labs, burning billions of dollars of calculations including a second part of this information that will never be fully recovered.

... there were prior references to abuse of the Bothan population in order to retrieve mathematical solutions :)
