> I have also trained myself to wait a few seconds before clicking the box, which seems to help assert my humanity. I wonder how many different weird rituals are out there for 'beating' CAPTCHA? For me, I usually make some effort to keep moving my mouse and being "active" after clicking the box, on the idea that an isolated click event looks less human. It's based on a friend's tip and it seems to help, but I have no confidence that it's actually relevant in such a complex system. I sort of suspect Google has created a new generation of meaningless routines fit to rival historical standouts like sports rituals.
