This is stupid for a few reasons
1) There are only a few types of questions, a bot can be programmed for all of them.
2) You don't need to program a bot for all of them. Even if you cover 1%, it's enough to break through and spam (attempts are cheap).
3) I don't think I've ever seen a captcha on a login box. Most of the time captchas are used for submitting anonymous (or semi-anonymous) comments, or verify a human if there are too many actions from one account.
