Are really, really, really difficult to read. It took me 4 attempts to decipher one correctly.

I take it they're using "captcha" (squiggly-written letters & #s that a computer has a very hard time, if it can at all, deciphering? the idea of using a string of them is that a computer could get some, but not all)?


Congrats. You've passed a Turing test.


I often find captchas tough too. I think my astigmatism plays into it.

Well, I'm not sure what I would do if I came across a tortoise lying on its back in the sun.
