Will Solve Captcha for Money?
alx_lo writes "Captchas are a nice idea to protect your blog or guestbook from being spammed by robots.
But what good is this protection when you can hire "data entry specialists" to solve captchas for $0.60 per hour for 50 hours a week?
Anyone here who can think up a solution that does not include drastically changing the global economy? How about captchas that require cultural background knowledge to solve?"

Thank you for signing up with Blogger! Before you continue, please prove P=NP.
Yeah, but when the choices are Bea Arthur, Rosie O'Donnell, and Natalie Portman; selecting either of the first two should give you an electric shock on top of not allowing you to post.

I wish I had someone that could have answered the questions at the beginning of Leisure Suit Larry for me when I was 11...I would have broken open the piggy bank to play!
Okay, if you really can. Give me the square root of two in decimal. No approximate answers.
What is the square root of 2 then? And no approximate answers.

So posting my 2 cents now costs $1? Guess that's inflation for you...
That's easy: P=NP if and only if P=0 or N=1

I think you stumbled across the solution: If the candidate enters the correct answer, he's certainly not American, so he will be denied entry...
Wait... I've got it!

For each client, send a series of captchas: "solving" "captchas" "formoney?" "one" "thousand" "usdollar" "reward" "for-arrest" "of-your" "employer".

I hate printers.
What?? You were TAUGHT how to do it? You didn't figure it out yourself? Daaymmm....
If the CAPTCHA asks you "are you Sarah Connor?" you should answer "No." and quickly press the back button.
My guestbook has a field where you are prompted to enter "I am not an idiot who will post drug advertisements." I haven't seen a drug advertisement since (not that I get a lot of traffic in the first place, but I was getting spam once a week before I put that in place).
Which biological characteristics, exactly, cause someone to know who Britney Spears is?
