25 The ideal captcha would not be visual at all. For example, on another
26 site I am involved with, which is not quite online yet, we are talking
27 about implementing tseveral levels of captcha such as:
28
29 - a math captcha (you will be asked to solve a simple math problem)
30 - a word captcha (fill in the missing letters of a word)
31 - a phrase captcha (complete the phrase)
32
33 Could something like one or more of these be possible?
