That's an interesting idea - maybe it would be smart to have captcha's do a "Point out all the motorcycles" or "Click all the pedestrians" setup.

- pbhjpbhj 5y agoI love a rant on this one... Sometimes the bus/boat/truck has motorbikes sometimes bicycles. Is that a petrol-powered bicycle, or a motorbike to the [USAmerican?] person who wrote the rules!? Are all large yellow vehicles buses in USA or do you have minibuses, oh wait, are minibuses buses. I've worked out fire engines are trucks for captchas, not sure about Transit-type vehicles, lorries are trucks apparently but goods trucks on railways are not trucks! Is a traffic light only the lens/led array or the black light-holder too? Do pedestrian lights count as traffic lights? Are those weird lights hanging in the middle of junctions 'traffic lights'. Wish they'd just tell you what counts. I have noticed that times I realise after clicking that I missed a square they tend to go through whilst many times I get repeated captchas when I know I got it right. Success, as a user, seems impossible to predict.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y ago> lorries are trucks apparently but goods trucks on railways are not trucks! In the US, lorry == truck. Never heard the term goods truck before today, but I think it's what we call a boxcar.
- perl4ever 5y agoA "truck" on a railway car is apparently a "bogie" in the UK. A bogie in India seems to be a railway car in the US. Then there are intermodal containers, smaller than boxcars, I think they are hauled by truck (lorry) after being unloaded from a flatcar.
