    Cheating in flash games?

    hey, there's a small competition in israel where u have to answer 10 repeating questions with 4 repeating answers for each questions as fast as possible.
    3 fastest persons gets to drive a cool limozine and drink tons of my favorite beer :P
    there are some ppl who somehow already found how to answer it mega fast... doing that in 6 sec when questions change their order and some questions are very similar is probably impossible...
    i already tried using a Macro program (Tasker) to repeat a recorded game in double speed.. problem is, that 10 questions is pretty much, and after few hours of trying i can't seem to get the same combo again..

    so i was thinking of another possilibity... is there a program that can recognize a certain picture or written text on the screen and perform a certain action acording to it? like when the program sees "HELLO" it will click a certain place in the screen... do u guys know such a thing?

    other possibility i thought of is editing the flash which unfortunally i know nothing about... is it possible to send yourself to highscores with false information about your score? or maybe slowing down the timer somehow so i could answer the questions quite slow and still get a good score?

    would love to hear a solution or other ideas
    oh, and here's the site:

    (it's in hebrew though not really complicated... "למשחק הטריוויה" means starting the game, "שחקו שוב" means play again, and "עשרת המובילים" is top 10 highscores)

    Flash games are not very secure. For example here is discussion about possible ways to protect the scores:

    I keep the scores in two different variables, and modify them as separate entities, then change them both by the same value every interval. The total score is both the variables added together.
