Given the recent wave of reinventing/breaking captchas, I saw the captcha at the end, and thought: "what if this free app is just a very clever way to get a bunch of intelligent people to answer captcha's for a bot?"
Then I realized if somebody went through all this trouble to design a new app like this, they deserve to have me answer captcha's for a bot somewhere.
Q: What nonsense word do the letters G-B-R-D spell?
A: gbrd
Q: Which three letter word starts with the letters TH and ends with the letter E?
A: th
Pretty neat.
- Xk 16y agoHaha, no, I don't have this answering questions for any bot anywhere. Actually, the reason those are solved isn't exactly what you'd expect. When it fails to find an answer, it checks to see if any word is upper-case. If it is, it cuts out all non-letters (to remove the comma at the end, for example) and then returns that word. The reason it does this is because it will occasionally asks questions such as "Which word IN this sentence is in all caps." So that's why G-B-R-D gets turned into 'gbrd', and why it says 'th'.
