Of course Young Jerk Jim Kirk taking the Kobayashi Maru in
Star Trek XI is eating an apple through the whole thing. That's what
he was doing in The Wrath Of Khan while talking about what he did in
the real-timeline Kobayashi Maru.

Please add the sound of my hand thumping my forehead for taking
five months to realize that.

No dumber than the writers having him actually eating an apple during
that scene. Or having it be obvious that Kirk knew the system had been
hacked by the way he was talking and not having the instructors abort
the test immediately (even if they didn't know HE had done it, he
clearly knew the Klingon ships would be shieldless ahead of time and
that would have thrown up a red flag).
