Re: TextCAPTCHA: 180 million simple logic questions
#2Very cool, this is one of my favorite types of captchas, because I don't have to sit and squint at the screen trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to type. Is it an I, or a 1? Is it an S or a 5?

#3I actually wrote something similar at http://stopam.com. Never been to brave to announce it officially.

#4Since there are 180million of them, presumably they were generated with a computer. Then, it seems that they probably fit into a finite number of patterns. If these could be determined, wouldn't this be a rather easy to crack captcha system?
Most captchas depend on the difficulty of the reverse transform applied to an image, especially when you don't know what the transform is. Here, the forms seem pretty regular, and the "transform" of inserting words is discrete rather than continuous, so a bit easier to reverse.

#5I know some people that would fail a few of these questions...

#6Great concept, but some of the easier ones are very susceptible to an automated solve.
For example: "What is ten + 1?" ...in bing: http://www.bing.com/search?setmkt=en-US&q=What+is+ten+%2... ...in google: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=what+is+t...

#7Some of the questions don't have one globally unique answer, for example: which day is a part of the weekend, Sunday, Friday or Monday.
Where I live (Israel), Friday is part of the weekend, were as I bet the creator of the list lives in the USA and as many times happens, believes the USA==World and the "correct" answer is probably Sunday.

#8Easy is not enough, Captcha need to be universal also.
For non native english speakers:
"Cheese, cat, mosquito, trousers, elbow and ant: how many body parts in the list?" or "Soup, dog, trousers, house, mosquito or pink: the colour is?"arent as easy as "3+1" or reCaptcha . Not everybody speak english on the interweb...

#9Seems as though there are very few patterns that repeat themselves in a different fashion.
For example - it would be quite easy to solve which word is capitalized - or any of the math or series questions.
