    Love the art and history. All too true. I’ve left many websites frustrated about my own inability to solve one CAPTCHA or another.

    I’ve noticed that some sites are using multiple choice questions instead of CHAPCHAs, which I think is an excellent idea.

    Snert, we’ve seen the multiple-choice thing too, and we like it from a user experience perspective. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bots out there that can get past multiple choice questions, so it’s not the best option as far as security goes.

    There are many better ways to ensure humanity other captcha. Multiple choice questions like “is ice cold, yes/no” or what was the year ten years ago with a drop down etc are a much better solution than captcha, and bots can’t solve them. I’ve seen one where you type the answer, either a number or yes/no etc. But everyone likes playing games…

    Captchas suck and are used by Google to trick the public into helping the automated book scanners decode words that the automation cannot decode
