Yeah that's what the Ticking Quiz Bomb does.
I really think it's a stupid item. You waste 1,000 gold use this on a farm bot(Can't use this on a chat bot) and you get 1,000 EXP if they fail the quiz. I hate what Nexon is doing on the report system. Last time I played Maple Story I had to waste my own money to report a hacker. We're trying to make their game better and yet they don't care.

It's hard to get an automated bot prevention system. Because they ...bot... their way out of them. Remember it has to be easy enough for an idiot noob to be able to pass, or a normal player to breeze through. If the rewards are too high, people will just fail on purpose to boost somebody else. Make the system too hard or the prizes too great and they start getting abused.

As for active bot prevention, well...

they are so useless~ the bots always auto pass them anyways.
