Whilst it won't convince your university, you could rewrite the assignment as an act of live coding. For instance:
1) Write to a live coding mailing list seeking assistance
2) Solve Goldbach conjecture
3) Rewrite Gibber in Pascal
4) Write a Pascal compiler in Gibber
5) Do the original assignment
6) Go to 1)
Hope that helps,
best
