UNSUCCESSFUL! Try Again: The other captcha seems easier. Good thing it's difficult, considering their contact page is on hn top page :D Later edit: as someone mentioned, the second one is easier and offensive. My guess is the request goes through anyway. Personally, I would have fun seeing (and publishing) what people draw :P

The second one always works. There is no check.

I always thought this chess captcha I read about a while back was the toughest thing I had heard of. http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/03/12/chess-captcha/

Chess seems to be the Anti-Captcha: Easy for computers to solve, but hard for humans.

What an odd website: http://www.geee.net/blog.htm I can't quite get it. Is it a joke? The writer[1] seems incredibly paranoid that the CIA are poisoning him and keeps overhearing agent's talking about killing him. The Captcha is a joke, but it seems out of place with the rest of the content. 1. http://www.geee.net/543u5.htm

http://www.geee.net/mv.htm It does not appear to a joke. It seems an awful lot like paranoid schizophrenia...

http://www.geee.net/blog082.htm This is a list of the recent posts. There's no way he could be this dedicated to a "joke" website. The recent events mentioned suggest that it's not just changing the times dynamically, so the posts are actually recent.

That's just scary. I wonder what kind of life he lives with the extreme paranoia of MI5 messing with him constantly. He needs medication, and a hobby to keep him away from these thoughts.

But, if he's not a harm to anyone or himself, then it should be 100% his choice to have medication or not.

How did the OP stumble upon this website?

"Unless, of course, MI5 actually have an obscene number of people on their books - perhaps as many as fifty thousand agents, which, if that is the case, means our 'democracy' is completely fucked."

I am not sure what law or internet forum rule it is that says any sufficiently developed parody of being a kook is indistinguishable from being a real, honest to goodness kook... but browsing around this site I am quickly reminded of that adage.

Poe's Law is what you're looking for, I believe.

When you submit there is a solid image that shows profanity: http://www.geee.net/acids/cntpaint.gif . Pretty offensive and not appropriate for HackerNews.

I thought I was just one of the lucky ones to get such an obscene message for a capture... way to spoil my excitement :P
