Users might not immediately welcome the replacement, however, because the tests that hCaptcha poses are more onerous than Google’s. A sample on Cloudflare’s website asks users to enter their name and say whether they prefer eggplants or carrots, before requiring them to click every one of 27 images showing a train.

Here in South Africa we call traffic lights robots. Click on the robots to prove you're not a robot :)
This was most confusing thing to me. On the first day at the plant, I asked at the entrance the directions to office I had to go. He told me to drive straight, turn left from second robot, continue till I cross rail track, turn right from first robot and then there is visitor parking on right. I was amazed that there are robots walking around in the plant (like they show in movies). I did not see a single robot and was lost in the plant for about 15 minutes.

reCaptcha is consistently rubbish, as far as I can tell. Either that or I'm an automaton. (I hate that, for one thing, it's American and assumes we all know exactly what a fire hydrant looks like. In the UK fire hydrants are neatly hidden away under covers in the ground). Some years ago I spent half an hour writing a captcha routine in vb.net that colours and distorts text; but using characters that are not easily confused (so I don't use I l 1, 0 or O etc) and easily configurable as to the extent of distortion. Works well and I use it on most of my sites. I'd do an article on it but, on second thoughts, I'll wait until it dominates the world and then start charging for it... :doh:

Well, google thanks you for all the unpaid work you've done for them, training their AIs. Oh, wait... No it doesn't.
