To me it sounds like he put in the bare minimum effort and did not make a good faith attempt. I could be wrong though but it's a fair guess.

The teacher could add criteria to force him to work harder, but he's probably going to cheese that too. Can't force him to engage. Have you never met one of those people that will work hard to strictly do the bare minimum?

Intellectually lazy. And if you sat there doing nothing and didn't figure that out, and still to this day haven't figured that out...
