Also, "identical" has a different meaning here.
There's a special place in hell for the monster who dreamed up this captcha!
When I see this captcha and it says "1 of 10", I close the page. This website doesn't want me, and I don't want to be there either.
Microsoft uses some of these. I remember having to do something like that to setup a minecraft account and at some point I thought I would just give up and lose my money.
OpenAI uses these too. I used to have the pro subscription, yet they asked me to solve 10 of these for every other request. Needless to say, I'm no longer their customer.
Top left? I mean, two of the things are literally inverse from each other, but that looks closest...
Yeah, inverse, but not identical.
Check this one out!
(hint: it's the top right... totally different size/shape, but considered "identical". FML
I had 15 of these goddamn things, and if you get one wrong they start you off again from #1, but after you've done the entire series!
EDIT: Also, wtf is the object? A wired personal vibrator?
Hitachi Magic Wand?
bottom right has multiple identical 8 pointed stars ... but yeah the 2 different coloured vibrators are a better choice
What site did you need to get on so badly that you out up with this shit?
I always click on the sound option for accessibility—I refuse to do the visual ones. If the sound doesn’t work, I’m out.
Just tried it, and it gave me 10 audio puzzles with three sounds per puzzle! These assholes are pure evil.
Time to bail. Fuck that shit.
Yes, a magic wand
"Just to prove you are a member of MENSA..."
It's quite easy after you learn engineering-level math. It would still require some paper and patience, but it's not hard.
Only something around 5% of the people go there, but it's a matter of going there, not being a genius.
It's been nearly 35 years since I did uni level calc and I've not really used in the the years since - fucked if I could figure it out without a lot of foo these days
That requires neither engineering-level math nor paper nor patience. All you need is the chain rule and some basic knowledge of sine and cosine:
The derivative of cos is -sin, but because of the 6x you get an extra factor 6. The sine function is periodic on 2pi, so sin(6*2pi + pi/2) = sin(pi/2) = 1. So the result is -36
It's called engineering level math because engineers, physicists, and math majors are required to take Calculus.
Yes I took calculus in high school but it's not required. No I don't remember much of any of it because it was decades ago.
You also learned all the countries/capitals in Africa when you were in middle school. But I bet you can't name them now without Google. Same thing.
You could just write it into an advanced calculator and then copy the answer. Ain't that bad
Are you doing Azure training too? I cursed these out to my boss when I encountered them. I've seen a lot of bad captcha but these are hands down the worst.
What is it you have to use so badly you put up with this bullshit!? Haven't they already proven that in 2024 bots can solve the CAPTCHAS better than humans can??
I signed up to LinkedIn to get in touch with someone. Deleting the account the moment I get a reply. They couldn't pay me to put up with this nonsense. 😂
Concidentally, I only saw these captchas from hell on sites that also have their own apps. I suspect they're trying to force you to use the app instead of the browser (while also training AIs of course).
Yeah, captchas have gotten worse recently. I had one asking me to choose “the largest animal” and it had an example picture of what was meant to be a lion. There was a rhino in one of the other pics.
It wanted me to click on lions, but then gave me something larger than a lion.
Edit: I just got this… Clicking on the flowers fails. Clicking on Skip fails. It wouldn’t let me try a third time to try clicking the cows, giraffe, or moose. But it clearly believes at least one of the three is smaller than a cat.
And the frog is scaled to look bigger so you don't know what they mean either.
Someone with water spray bottle should have been in the dystopian design meeting that came up with this horror.
"No! Bad! No!"
spritz
Yeah, the person who thought this up should be forced to do it for 24 hours straight, with only 10 seconds for each guess, and for every one he gets wrong, five minutes gets added to his time.
Nice try bot.
The answer is none, assuming color also plays a role.
Whoever made this CAPCHA probably didn't consider that.
This image isn't reCAPTCHA, but since it's still relevant, here you go:

The thing is, there will come a day when only bots will be able to get these right. The only way into a site will be to answer incorrectly, to prove you're human.
"Prove that you're inferior."
"I.....what?......What even IS this puzzle? There's a glowstick, and a porcupine, a pez dispenser in the shape of ray romano, and the board game battleship? I don't get it.....I don't even get whats being asked...."
"Correct!"
".......I still don't get it."
"Buddy, we know your human. Stop proving your inferiority."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???"
"Now you're just showing off...."
The system is broken
Anytime a website throws this nonsense at me, I immediately go elsewhere.
Yeah Google doesn’t think I know what a traffic light is… or a motorcycle
You were solving some devs IQ test they couldn't themselves.
Had to do these to view some Twitter/X post a friend sent me: I don't have an account and visiting the link redirects directly to login. So I created a new account with a temp mail. Then I had to solve 10 of these riddles. After the 10th there was an error message that I cannot use this email or so. I asked my friend for a screenshot afterwards. I had a loooong day and it was very late in the evening. I never ever do this again. Shitty SM.
That's the bullshit I had to go through when I forgot my password on Twitter And had to reset it.
Rockstar uses these, but 30 of them, and each one asks for undivided attention. Count all visible sides of the dice, showing 6 different pictures of dice and then you have to choose 1 that matches the shown number. 30 times. Fuck that. I haven't been able to play GTA5 since.
If you attempt to answer this rather than refresh for an easier one, the captcha assumes you are a computer and blocks your IP
rather than refresh for an easier one
That was one of the easy ones! They got more abstract and further from identical as you went on.
And the bastards set it up so they make you think you're solving 5 of these... then when you do the fifth one, they make you do 10... etc... infuriating.
Just ask chatGPT, it can solve capchas faster than a person. Set up a script and boom, no more capchas issues.
