Trying to sow confusion amongst sources of truth. It fails again and again.

      “Used globally since the 60s”

      Then generates the biggest comment section in the thread. I’m also from the 60s but this one is new to me, and I’m pretty sure km from the globe even if the earth is now flat. And to be clear I’ve heard of crib notes but its the adaptation to cribbing that is me. Cribbing is part of cribbage.

      Globally? Are you sure? I’m from the 80s and I have never heard of that.

        No, that’s something different. Cliff notes is an actual notebook series of summaries of commonly taught literature and maybe other things. Crib notes is a literal cheat sheet for an exam.

      I highly doubt it was used globally.

      Also

      “Crib notes” are short, condensed reference notes that summarize key points or essential information — basically a cheat sheet.

      Also, upon looking into the term crib notes it appears that’s been used since the 1800s.
