Problem with the latter example is those that are colour blind although I guess it's not much worse than asking people to sum up dice.

I'm guessing though they are more so looking at % correct and the actual behaviour of making a selection rather than just whether you are capable of adding up numbers.



Good point on accessibility, it could always be black-on-white shapes, numbers, letters.

Not to mention blind users, it looks like OP's captcha had a speaker icon on the captcha, I wonder if it would have made the challenge easier.


Well that's not the case. I made a mistake on the fifth one and had to start all again from the start.

So it's 100% correct or redo. Infuriating
