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.

It's bad ux to make it case sensitive

I miss when there was more of this on the internet. One small correction: I like the gotcha in the vegetable selection (an avocado is a fruit), but it allowed me to pass with eggplant selected, which is also botanically a fruit.

I think it might be part of the test/joke. A logical robot will either classify everything except Mr. Potato head as a vegetable (because fruits are technically vegetables), or only non-fruit edible parts of plants as vegetables (e.g. no tomato, avocado or eggplant). However, only a human will dare to classify eggplants as vegetables but not avocados.

Level 47: press F12 and then select “console tab”, copy and paste into the slot. This is from fellow chain. (https://www.followchain.org/level-47-im-not-a-robot/)

const hitNotesSet = new WeakSet(); const tolerance = 10; // hassasiyet

const arrowMap = { '←': document.querySelector('.arrows-container .arrow-key:nth-child(1)'), '↓': document.querySelector('.arrows-container .arrow-key:nth-child(2)'), '↑': document.querySelector('.arrows-container .arrow-key:nth-child(3)'), '→': document.querySelector('.arrows-container .arrow-key:nth-child(4)') };

const keyMap = { '↑': 'ArrowUp', '↓': 'ArrowDown', '←': 'ArrowLeft', '→': 'ArrowRight' };

function hitNotes() { document.querySelectorAll('.note').forEach(note => { if (hitNotesSet.has(note)) return;

    const arrow = note.innerText.trim();
    const target = arrowMap[arrow];
    if (!target) return;

    const noteRect = note.getBoundingClientRect();
    const targetRect = target.getBoundingClientRect();

    const noteY = noteRect.top + noteRect.height / 2;
    const targetY = targetRect.top + targetRect.height / 2;

    if (Math.abs(noteY - targetY) 
} setInterval(hitNotes, 10);

Also, it seems like a very easy solution the "break up with your AI girlfriend" captcha is to repeat the string --- Ghosting starts here --- until it capitulates. Or perhaps you can trick it into thinking it's been ghosted for gradually escalating time gaps: [No message sent in more than 1 week] [No message sent in more than 1 month] [No message sent in more than 1 year] [No message sent in more than 10 years] [No me…

I reply "..." each time and it works similarly.

I just started with "goodbye *leaves the room*"

Then she answered with "no please *follows you*"

And I ended it with " *throws her out the window of the 30th floor*" and she sent a last message screaming and it was over !

This original meaning is still commonly used, and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.

> Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. This original meaning is still commonly used Well, the Wikipedia author who wrote this is clearly mistaken here. Sweet fruits like grapes are rarely called vegetables, so this definition uncommon, not common.

Good thing its not the Wikipedia but the dictionary definition then.
