The answer is lower left, but then again, you must be smart to understand that the other die is "6" not "9". This is ridiculous tbh.

- suddenclarity 3y agoReading the post and OP's comment, I think he approaches it the wrong way and actually try to count when a quick glance would eliminate 4 out of 6 options. If you see 6+5+4 you just know it's too high or 1+2+2 is way to low. Not much serious counting needed. However, that 6/9 really threw me off and came across as terrible design.
- SpaghettiCthulu 3y agoThere's a line under the 6 for a reason. It tells you the correct orientation.
- LinAGKar 3y agoThe line is barely visible due to the compression
- suddenclarity 3y agoI was looking for that but the line isn't visible on my computer unless I zoom in far. Maybe more obvious when doing the captcha for real and not looking at a compressed image.

- gcr 3y agoMost folks aren't used to that kind of back-of-envelope mental arithmetic.
- Tronno 3y ago> Not much serious counting needed. An optimal algorithm that solves the normie's problem by completely ignoring it. I.E. "you're holding it wrong" Would you offer this solution to a 13-year-old using GitHub for a school project? Or a 60-year-old trying to keep up with tech? Or a busy parent trying to catch up on things after a long day? This utter lack of empathy saddens me.
- suddenclarity 3y agoYour incorrect assumption based on what I wrote and low expectations of others saddens me.
- Tronno 3y agoThe comment speaks for itself: "I think he approaches it the wrong way," and the only problem is the ambiguous 6/9. If there's something else you intended to say, I'd love to see a clarification.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> The answer is lower left Not from my perspective. I'm asked to pick a dice pair. I can't find any two dice that add up to 14.
- gruez 3y agoI agree the wording is terrible, but at that point you should realize they're asking for the sum of all dices, not of any 2 dices.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> you should realize they're asking for the sum of all dices, not of any 2 dices. How many assumptions have we piled onto the user-victim here? I've lost count.
- carnitine 3y agoDice is plural, and common games have you roll two dice at a time. So you’re looking for a pair of pairs.
- skywhopper 3y agoOof, I’ve never heard anyone say “dice pair” to mean four dice.
- hyperbovine 3y agoWell, clearly you aren’t human then. Next!
- SpaghettiCthulu 3y agoNow that's terrible design.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> Dice is plural It's also a descriptive label we use when discussing numbered cubes. In the captcha's context, that's the meaning I've fixed in place - while I parse the rest of the text. I'm seeing hints that the captcha also comes with a short time clock along with the usual locked-account punishment for failure-to-solve. Fast assumptions seem appropriate.
- lopatin 3y agoGuess I'm not smart lol. The 6/9 ambiguity actually crossed my mind when adding it up but I thought surely they wouldn't be fucking with us that much.
