Again, sorry, I've got to point you back to the original article. The author explains the details of reCAPTCHA's known/unknown word-pair clearly, as you have done, but goes on to explain that the impossible-to-read word was actually reCAPTCHA's "known word", so the CAPTCHA was impossible to pass.
- bryondowd 12y agoYes, but the author actually only tried once. Every other example he gives, he claims he hit refresh to get a new one instead of attempting it. Also, I have to wonder if he was simply mistaken about that first attempt. Are we sure it didn't just fail because his username/password was wrong and display a new captcha, causing him to assume he had failed the first captcha? I do have to admit most of those are cases where both words are difficult or impossible. But we can at least assume that the easier of the two (the one not cut in half) is the control in most of those.
