    I hate that captcha – the Google captcha where a single image (like a picture of a street with traffic lights, bikes, buses, etc) is divided up – it is the worst one by far.

      I’ve always thought it was intentional so that humans could train the edge detection of the machine vision algorithms.

        It is. The actual test for humans there isn’t the fact that you clicked the right squares, it’s how your mouse jitters or how your finger moves a bit when you tap.

        Of course not. But what about that millimeter of tire? Or the tenth of the rearview mirror?

            Right? After failing 90% of captchas I started selecting the person on the motorcycle as well. And wouldn’t you know it, I’m now passing most if the time.

      You can just click a couple squares and hit ok. It doesn’t have to be right.

      I hate when the captcha starts at 1/10, so much so that I’ll usually just walk away if I can.
