You’re gettin’ lectured.

If the terms of the competition stipulated that you would do this by yourself, then you may “win” by cheating, but you’ll be without honor and a bit of your soul will die.

If there was no such stipulation, then you’re not cheating. Game on. Don’t forget “Red Rubber Ball”.
