> A question like "Who was the U.S. President in 1993-2001" has a better chance of going uncracked. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Who+was+the+U.S.+Presi

  That's a pretty dishonest link there. The question/answer you linked isn't the same question posed. When the question as originally posed is asked to Alpha, it barfs with no answer: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Who+was+the+U.S.+President+in+1993-2001 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Who+was+the+U.S.+Presid... One could argue that the leap from form one to form two of the question is trivial (and it is for a thinking human), but if such a thing were so trivial for a machine then why doesn't Alpha do it? And if Alpha doesn't do it, what makes you think a random spambot will be capable of doing it?
