What is CAPTCHA?
CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". They are designed (supposedly) to act as a sort of "Gatekeeper", to allow people to gain acces to do certain things (such as register for a forum, or post a comment on a blog), or even to gain access to certain areas of a web page (though this seems to be rather rare, these days). The only trouble is, most CAPTCHA scripts available today are either easily hacked, like the image below:
or extremely difficult (read:impossible) to read:

Our Solution:
Let's stop using hard to read groups of obscured, deformed letters!
Rather than present you with a group of random letters, with either distortion, or "background noise", or lines/blobs obscuring them, why not present some sort of easily recognized (to us humans, at least), randomly generated image, and then ask a question about that image that requires a simple, one word answer? This immediately takes away one of the best tools a spam bot can use to bypass most CAPTCHAs today: CR, or Character Recognition.
