Breaking Google Doodle Olympic Records

The recent series of Olympic Google doodles are really fun. It's a great way to waste a couple of minutes and compete with your friends or co-workers. But it can be very frustrating when you always end up getting a lower score than your buddies ;).. So here is a way to become a champion in the doodle olympics. Keep in mind however that this is a way of cheating the doodle, so if you are not keen on cheating then stop reading  now. :D

Assuming that you are ready and willing to cheat in the doodle olympics, here's how you do it. (Instructions given here are for the Google Chrome browser) For this demonstration I have used the most recent slalom canoe doodle, but the basics are the same for any event. First, take you own cool time and finish the game and obtain your result.


Then right click anywhere on the doodle and select "Inspect element"


In the window that opens, locate the four lines that I have bracketed in green. You can use the search feature on the top right corner of the page element window to locate it quickly. (Click on the image to enlarge)


These are the lines that are required to be changed to change your result. The first line contains you timing. double click on it and change it to your desired timing. The next three lines are for the three gold medals that accompany the timing. The last three letters in these three lines will be "smg" or "smh". Change all three to "smg" to get all three gold medals.


Make the changes and close the page element window to view your doctored result. Now go and brag to your friends! :D
