in thread If CAPTCHA isn't the answer. What is?

Than can be easily prevented by requiring that the user selects not "The three cats among these 9 images" but "All cats among these images" (there can be more or less, even none!) or maybe "The second brown cat and the last dog".

    Indeed

    1/10 * C(9,0) + 1/10 * C(9,1) + 1/10 * C(9,2) + 1/10 * C(9,3) + 1/10 * C(9,4) + 1/10 * C(9,5) + 1/10 * C(9,6) + 1/10 * C(9,7) + 1/10 * C(9,8) + 1/10 * C(9,9) = 1/10 * 2 * (1 + 9 + 36 + 336 + 4536) = 983.6

    1 in 84 becomes 1 in 983.6

    On the other hand, it makes it harder on the user. People will be second guessing themselves.
