Flash of
Hi,
1) It sometimes happens that you cannot solve a mathematical problem in an exam and then all of a sudden you know the answer.
Could I use this?
“I sometimes have a flash of insight/knowledge during an exam and I can crack even the most difficult problems.”
2) Could you give my some synonyms for ‘wean off’ (wean sb off junk wood)? I couldn’t find any. (perhaps ‘cut back on junk food’)
Thank you.

You don't need any. That's fine.
