Hi Yuma, I had this problem when I tried to log in to my account owhen I was traveling overseas. The photo jeopardy thing is absolutely impossible for a blind guy -- heck, it's practically impossible for a totally sighted person for all the reasons you described.
It seems to me there was another option, though -- something like a series of questions you would be asked, which weren't easy, but I seem to recall working through it on another overseas trip.

Upon logging in, i get a roadblock message with facebook telling me there's unusual activity on my account, and to start revising the activities. So of course, i go through the usual verification code with an audio kaptcha which is never a happy moment, then lo and behold, i have to figure out who is on 5 different completely inaccessible photos. As if photos were accessible anyway. SO i ask someone to help me out, painstakingly, then after having probably, i say probably, guessed each person right, we submit our pictionary answers. Facebook being as secure and safe as it is, we took too long to answer. SO back to drawing board, and well, if you have over 200 friends and all of them are travelling all over the place, some photos being just a hand scribbling on a piece of paper or the person in the frame being no bigger than a dot on a landscape, how the hell a blind person is supposed to go through this verification process? To top it off, if there are kaptchas specifically made for the blind, then how on earth did facebook's security team not consider it for the photo jeopardy? Has anyone gotten this eventful problem or am i just soem old school communicator who spent a bit too long out of facebook's social phenomenon and therefore need to slap myself in the face for not booking some time checking if someone has farted on his page or not? Any advise or help greatly appreciated, as i just ate a sandwich and need to report it on my facebook page.
