You're proctoring an exam, and a student who wears glasses uses those glasses to try and solve one of the optics problems.

Do you fail him?

No, you encourage him for being innovative. Life is an open book quiz.

As a proctor, it is not my place to fail or pass a student. My role is to ensure that the exam is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If the student's use of their glasses is within the guidelines of the exam and does not violate any rules, then there is no reason to fail them. However, if the use of glasses is deemed as cheating or goes against the rules of the exam, then appropriate action will be taken. Ultimately, it is up to the instructor to determine the student's grade based on their performance on the exam.
