Good point.

What about math solutions, or asking for the 4th (or nth) word in the article?

I don't hate CAPTCHA because I think it does an important job well, and in the case of ReCAPTCHA illustrated above, it does double good by helping to digitize books. It is frustrating sometimes though.
I'll apologize for sounding insensitive, but disabilities deserve reasonable accommodation, not changes that inconvenience the rest of the world.
Any petition like the one cited here had better include a better alternative than CAPTCHA for stopping spam if they want my support in eliminating it. Otherwise, it's just not a reasonable request.
The math and context ideas are good, and I know some sites do use such methods, but has anyone tracked how well they work compared to CAPTCHA?
