- gilrain 4y agoFair enough… one can only speak for oneself, after all.
- Suzuran 4y agoI remember a friend's con-group forums who had an issue along these lines - the anti-bot question was "What is the brightest thing in the sky at noon?" the expected answer was "the sun", but some guy got stuck because he was answering "Sol". Since they had an IRC channel the issue was relatively quickly resolved, but it was an in-joke for some time.
