    I get just that sometimes and then it will also go into HAL mode on me at times. Do this, do more, here are really some really grainy images, etc.

    Are you sure ? Do pronounce the word human slowly please ! It are two words in one. There is man and there is human. Big difference. One is a fiction and has limited fictional rights. The other one is living and has all rights / is the right.

    this sounds like something a robot would say :)

    The newer versions of CAPTCHA are more complicated than that because bots have progressed to the point where they can be trained to complete those types of puzzles easily, often faster than humans. The new versions determine how you're interacting with the page in the background in addition to the puzzles.

    I like Cloudflare as well. I might have to check that out. I know a lot of people use CAPTCHA just because of ease of implementation, so if it's a similar process it should be pretty easy to implement.

    Bots are designed to pass captchas. In fact, its been found that they complete captchas at a higher rate than people do.
    All captchas do is provide a false sense of security and piss off your userbase.

    Try the one below. Also, to be fair, the check boxes should be
    [ ] I am not a robot.
    [ ] I am, in fact, a robot.
    [ ] I am not sure whether I am a robot.
    [ ] I am a cyborg.

    Solution for math nerds: The limit is ln(2). Indeed, arctan(x) -> 0 as x -> 0, and sin(1/x) is bounded. We have also used some facts about continuity to take the limit inside the logarithm, sum, and square root.
