"__ cups in a pint?" or "A Bakers Dozen is __".

Indeed, it will be really fun to g2google before every comment just so I can find out these values. Some people are still sticking with metric system, some - with Imperial. Also, there is a limited amount of "cups in a pint" variations that can be put in a CAPTCHA system (since these have to be human generated), so it will not take too long to write an automatic solver of this problem. Therefore, while the CAPTCHAS of today are vulnerable to solutions of cheap workforce, this is actually vulnerable to automatic solving, which is way worse.

Comment Re:maybe we could use pictures instead (Score 1) 197

cracking your CAPTCHA: have a database of pictures of famous people, and compare the given picture with the database, or have a face recognition algorithm of some sorts. computers would actually be better at solcing the CAPTCHA this than humans. Especially since there are much less pictures of famous people than permutations of how textual CAPTCHA can be generated
