I'll post my ineffectual solution to the birthday problem as soon as I have the time to write the whole thing out; it's a bit involved (which made me even more annoyed when I saw it wouldn't work).
Well, both, actually.
#1 was particularly close--the students do something that is not cheating but that is very close to it (I know that makes no sense, but it will in retrospect), and the failing grade is a punishment of sorts for the thing they did wrong. (BIG hint here--they lied, with the intention of confusing someone...)
#2 is close because the students are intending on fooling the teacher by doing something; to be clearer, they've already done something (but, of course, before the due date of the presentation).
