Maybe your teacher's goal was to encourage people in the class to learn Poseidon so he could hire them on a private project. Or maybe he/she was looking for a genius who would be able to figure out how to code Poseidon in such a way that it would not crash.
There are lots of other reasons why a teacher might set specific rules for an exercise such as this, too. Unfortunately you chose to ignore the instructions -- and you made the mistake of second-guessing him/her -- assuming that the teacher's goal was the end result and not the process of getting there.
