Registration spambot question with wrong answer

Postby GTHvidsten » 31 Jul 2018 11:28

I got this question when first trying to register on the forums:
Three Apple, Two Shoes, Three Bananas. How many total computers ?

I tried to answer "0" (the number zero), but that was apparently wrong. I don't know what the answer should have been in this case.


Fortunately I managed to register after the next question... obviously :)

In fact, you were not careful. Take a closer look at the screenshot during my registration. You were asked about an apple not as a fruit but as a brand. That is, you had 3 Apple II. Three computers :)Image

On this and the test for an anti-ship, a person in the ideal case should guess.

However, this is a great success that decided to look at the forum topics before registering ...

Sure! Except, it seems to be always the same question...

That is, you had 3 Apple II.

Uh-huh! So, I tried entering "3" and "three" and, always getting:

Code: Select all

No soup for you! It looks like you have been flagged as a spammer.
