Nah, they give you a number and you have to scroll through 8 pages of images of 5-7 dice, getting the total sum on each image to find which matches the number they give you.
And do that 16 times. So you’re scrolling through doing the math on upwards of 128 images of dice. FUCK THAT.
Did you know: to cancel a Blizzard account you have to send them a photo copy of your ID card? I’ve only ever had to do that for some job applications, and government forms online. But for a video game account??
I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.
Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas
That seems so backwards. Computers almost are always better at doing math than humans, so how is that proving the visitor is a human??
It is entirely based on the theory that computers can’t understand an array of pixels
Computers understand the content, but now how it’s represented, so they can’t solve it
Humans understand how it’s represented, but not the content, so they can’t solve it
Mathematicians understand how it’s represented and the content
It’s not to keep computers away, it’s to keep non-mathematicians away!
And everyone knows mathematicians love their kill death ratio and will grind hours into the night to get it perfect
Not perfect, just enough that it rounds to perfect for display.
Nah… Just kill 1 guy out the door, then hide in a corner rest of the match. Boom. 1 kill, 0 deaths, 100 percent kd
1: but sir, the computers make the images with the pixels!
Boss: …you shut your whore mouth, IT WORKS DAMMIT! THEY TOLD ME IT WORKS!
which has not been true for a few years now
If they do it too fast they’re probably a bot reading text and asking AI for answers
Thread.sleep(2863);
Calculator: ( 10^15 + 7.2 - 10^15 ) * 100 = 0
Also calculator: fails Trig because almost every graph is wrong
Maybe the goal was to weed out all the humans and let the bots in. When they start asking TCP questions written in binary, you’ll know for sure.

I’ve hated them since D3 came out with always online.
Sounds like maybe you need a math review lol

At what point is it just free labor lol
As soon as someone made recaptcha.
Ya I’m jk, that sounds very excessive. Especially considering a bot could easily solve that with existing CV… gotta wonder whats the point
