Exactly.
NB it is probably an initiative test, many people would either not see that or not do it..... resulting in an unsuccessful application.

Of course, you could have said it in triplicate, "I'm not saying a word, a word, a word in this thread...!"
EDIT Or to quote Bonnie Dundee, "Let Mons Meg and her marrers speak twa words or three."

Re: what does "PLEASE SUBMIT IN TRIPLICATE"
im only 19 and ive had to use it in my short life
the coursework submission forms we have at uni use carbon paper and triplicate
top form is white, we keep that as a receipt, bottom form is yellow and goes somewhere, and very bottom form is pink and gets returned with the marked coursework
you can have fun with carbon paper and random writings sometimes

Ah, but do you have the fancy modern stuff that, unlike your old fashioned carbon paper, doesn't leave your fingers a nice shade of blue (or black)?

yes we don't all live in the dark ages you know you wouldn't even know this was carbon paper if it didn't have the copy things underneath....none of that old fashioned crapness with a pad of black in between the documents, or whatever the hell it used to be...

Depends how far back you want to go. The original one was called, IIRC, a Gestetner. It involved some horrible purple jelly-like substance. And now we have photocopiers that do multiple copies, collate, staple and everything except read the document for you.
