Decide if the following scenario is a violation of academic integrity.

Your professor has assigned a take-home midterm exam.  You are allowed to use your notes, textbook, and other sources like the internet--but you are not allowed to work with your classmates.  The exam is 75 questions, and you have other work to do, so you get together with a friend in the class and split up the questions.  You each turn in your own exam, but you each only did half of the questions yourself.  Since you could have looked the answers up on the internet, does it really matter if friends helped each other?
