questions

i've seen a couple people with their status saying this, what does this mean/ what is a turing test?

it's the verification that pops up from time to time i believe.

Yep, captcha page.

Has anyone else gotten greek/math letters for their captcha? I've gottent hem a few times and I'm pretty sure my keyboard doesn't type those... I just hit refresh though.

Usually when capcha shows something dumb like greeks letter I just type whatever and it works.

and when it comes up with maths equations you don't have to repeat them, it will accept the answer.

and when it says 'spliff', you just answer 'roll and smoke'

You only need to type one of the words.

You get weird ass symbols before, I once just just had some lines, because these captchas are words that computers digitizing books couldn't make out and are automagically sent to deciphered by you.

What I wanted to upload was a chinese character in Captcha. Annoying when I did type it in Chinese, it didn't register o.0
