It refers to an old test or problem that has been saved or found and is consulted later (sometimes illicitly) by a student who has not yet taken the test or worked the problem. The term was coined by students at Tech’s now defunct Extension branch at Bluefield College who later transferred to Blacksburg, bringing the word with them. The word had its origin in “coffer,” a legitimate synonym for a strongbox. Some students at Bluefield had access to a coffer there that contained files of old tests and problems, and they soon came to refer to the materials themselves as “coffers.” In time, the sound of the word was softened to “coofer,” and still later the spelling was changed to “koofer.” It is often used as a verb in such constructions as “to coofer a problem.”

Here is an idea for a startup: How about a web app / iPhone app that users can use to check how likely they can get a room with a certain rating in a given location and date? Business travelers will find it very helpful.

Why is so much interest giving to college kids! I was building websites before most of these kids were riding a bike! I think too much time and money is givin to the beer/pot heads. Some one needs to start a Y combo aimed at the older and experienced in the real needs in life people.
