i've often had more luck passing these captchas randomly selecting 4 boxes from the grid than trying to answer it intelligently. for example it often asks to select a sign -- does the signpost count? only 50% of the time... similarly,

interpreted charitably, the test is not to make up a false complex problem (if you're looking for a contractor for a trivial task you wouldn't even need the orange juice test). rather its just to be honest about the problem&#x2F
