Adding I2 (usually made by dissolving solid I2 in KI solution to make [I3]^-) to starch produces a color change to a dark blue (sometime so dark it is black). You can try this at home by placing a drop of tincture of iodine (usually in a home medicine cabinet) onto the inner part of a potato. Works every time for me.

Answer: The test was inconclusive because the student forgot to add heat.
