CAPTCHA
That is an precise CAPTCHA I used to be proven when attempting to log into PayPal.
As an precise human and never a bot, I had no thought learn how to reply. Is that this a joke? (Appears not.) Is it a Magritte-like existential query? (It’s not a bicycle. It’s a drawing of a bicycle. Truly, it’s {a photograph} of a drawing of a bicycle. No, it’s actually a pc picture of {a photograph} of a drawing of a bicycle.) Am I overthinking this? (Positively.) I stared on the display, paralyzed, for means too lengthy.
It’s most likely one of the best CAPTCHA I’ve ever encountered; a pc would have simply answered.
(In the long run, I I handled the drawing as an actual bicycle and chosen the suitable squares…and it appeared to love that.)
