The facial exam (emotions) was quite interesting, although not very accurate, I had to spend over 1 minute on some of the emotions. At least it's powered by a very tiny ML model that runs locally in the browser, powered by https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js > The face expression recognition model is lightweight, fast and provides reasonable accuracy. The model has a size of roughly 310kb and it employs…

what level is that?

39 - I'm saving it for when I have time to cheat and show images from the net.

I'm quite surprised that for a moment I thought about genuinely doing it. I like neal.fun a lot! I think a few other people did show their face?

It is unfair to humans to make text input (level 3) case sensitive when puzzle is always showing in caps. If robot recognizes characters, it becomes easier for robot to enter correct text than human.

I thought the draw-a-circle level was even more solidly in the class of much, much easier for a bot than a human. Perhaps in rejects if you draw a circle that scores 100%.

Also, did people manage to draw a circle that passed without cheating in some way?

For me it was very sensitive to even one red pixel from a sign not being selected

It's also incorrect: there is the back of a stop sign visible on the left of the picture but you must not select this to pass the level. Par for the course with these captcha-like tests though.

Thanks. That was it. You are *NOT* supposed to select any part of the back of the stop sign to the left of the picture.

Level 2 demonstrates an annoyance I have with such captachas. It states to select all squares containing a stop sign. It becomes some sort of game theory around what I think other people think a stop sign "is". I would consider all parts of the stop sign, including its metal stand, part of the sign. Other people apparently think only the top bit, the red bit, of the stop sign "is" the stop sign. If I'm supposed to se…

You seem to gave a very outside view of humanity, are you sure you are not a robot? Perhaps some edge case.

Why? I did it on the first try and have never played games like osu!, there seems to be quite a bit of tolerance for hitting the wrong keys.

I couldn't do it after 10+ tries... Maybe it would be easier if I remapped keys exactly to side by side.

Yeah, I had to do this, the up and down were too hard.

A simple way to "map" the keys to use both hands, two arrows each.

I tried going back and forth on this exact idea, but my brain somehow kept messing up portions of it still.

I started smashing left + up, instead of down + up when they came together.

Eventually I got through it with 89, but not sure how many turns and I don't remember the configuration, but something finally clicked.

You're assuming that that type of captcha is about selecting the correct squares rather about how you select those squares.

Even before the current "AI" craze, selecting stop signs was a trivial problem for computer vision - especially when you're OK with sub-100% pass rates.
