Is there a way these bots can access the database answers? Mind you my answers are very tough for any non-english to guess. yeah they are all non-english spammers from china.

Is the answer in the question..?
Mine works PERFECT, i cant imagine why it wouldn't work for you too.

Also, is there any way to find the users that did bypass it and delete their accounts?
They will still be able to spam since they have already registered, wouldn't they?
Thanks

Once they are registered it is too late they are already members, the only thing you can do is sniff them out & change their account to banned (or make a new usergroup) You can usually tell because they fill out the info forms by what most boards ask, but if you have any custom fields they will put something like "USA" when isn't asking where they are from. lol
