This competition[^] is a simple memory challenge, 16 cards with flags on the other side, click to turn a card over, match all 8 pairs of flags.
The top ten fewest clicks go into a draw for an iPad.
Top of the leader board at the moment is someone who took 16 clicks, so didn't make a mistake, although did take quite a long time.
Can anyone work out how to cheat at the game?

Ha! Developer tools make it too easy.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Not if the last two flip automatically after only fourteen flawless clicks.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Yes - take a look at the scores. I reckon I could write a bot to do it in seconds less than a second.
[Edit]
RyanDev is right - with developer tools it's too easy, though they have tried to obfuscate the image names. It doesn't look like they randomise the positions either - simply play once, note the positions and play again.

I did get the Inspect Element thing in Firefox to show me the images when I hovered over the image names once, but I'd already started the timer long before, when I tried without it wouldn't do that.
Restarting the game does randomise, or it did each time I looked.
I wonder if they'll pull the plug on the competition once the leaderboard is full of perfect scores by the end of today.

There is a flag_1/falg_2/flag_3 and so on class value on the inner div...
I hope you got that no iPad in it. It's a page to collect email addresses for future use...(or are they so dump?)
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I'm not even sure it's used for anything- the JavaScript perhaps?

I hadn't considered actually winning - I doubt I'll be in the top 10 much longer which is good as I'd feel bad winning.

Someone care to explain why they reported me for posting this?

you kyboshed their chances of winning an IPad or whatever?

Because it seems like a page to collect email addresses. No-one will give any iPad away. The game is so dump, so easily can be cheated that it is not thinkable that someone who investing an iPad will let it happened...

So you felt the need to report me because you didn't like the website it linked to?
I made it clear you didn't have to put in an email address to look at the thing.
The website belongs to a company that has been trading since 1845, employes thousands of people and has a turnover of hundreds of million.
They might employ some slightly crap web devs, but it is a a company that does not need to resort to simple tricks to mine email addresses, and if it doesn't have the prize to give away it will be in quite a lot of trouble under UK laws, running competitions is very tightly regulated.
Anyway, thanks for the report oh lord of the webs.

I didn't report you my friend. It was merely an observation backed-up with the experience about our trigger-happy fellow CPians...

Now I wonder how it deals with Canuckian laws.

An iPad is a very cheap prize but with a huge fan pool.
OK, it might eventually be expensive for a single individual, but for a company it's peanuts.
If to that you add a dumb game, the word will spread and chances are you'll mine a lot of emails
It's never about the quality of the responses, is about the amount!!
This is way cheaper than any other way to publicize something or just gather contacts.

You probably right...

It's not about getting the email addresses, although lots of online competitions do exist for that sole purpose, but to increase web traffic and ad revenue.
But if someone is going to object to being a facilitator to that then pretty much every single link posted will get reported.

I've been using x-notifier. It works fine for email but the inconvenience is that it displays ads whenever a web page is visited. The ads often covers part of content and makes it hard to read.

Have you tried using AdBlock to get rid of the ads? I've found that works pretty well, not sure whether or not it would work for that though.
