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

Ask the applicant a topical question. For example ask what the Featured artical is on Wikipedia (and provide a link to Wikipedia's front page) or ask what is the title of lead item at The Monastery Gates. Note that you could easily automate this by scraping the target page for the current item of interest.

Bear in mind that any such thing that you do will eventually get circumvented, but it should give you a few days head start. :)
