Also, “identical” has a different meaning here.

There’s a special place in hell for the monster who dreamed up this captcha!

    Yeah, captchas have gotten worse recently. I had one asking me to choose “the largest animal” and it had an example picture of what was meant to be a lion. There was a rhino in one of the other pics.

    It wanted me to click on lions, but then gave me something larger than a lion.

    Edit: I just got this… Clicking on the flowers fails. Clicking on Skip fails. It wouldn’t let me try a third time to try clicking the cows, giraffe, or moose. But it clearly believes at least one of the three is smaller than a cat.

      And the frog is scaled to look bigger so you don’t know what they mean either.

    Had to do these to view some Twitter/X post a friend sent me: I don’t have an account and visiting the link redirects directly to login. So I created a new account with a temp mail. Then I had to solve 10 of these riddles. After the 10th there was an error message that I cannot use this email or so. I asked my friend for a screenshot afterwards. I had a loooong day and it was very late in the evening. I never ever do this again. Shitty SM.

    Imagine Optimus Prime trying to buy Sam Witwickys Glasses on EBay and encountering this captcha.

    “Jo, this is fucking bullshit you guys.”

    Rockstar uses these, but 30 of them, and each one asks for undivided attention. Count all visible sides of the dice, showing 6 different pictures of dice and then you have to choose 1 that matches the shown number. 30 times. Fuck that. I haven’t been able to play GTA5 since.

      I literally ragequit that captcha. Mine was showing floor plans and grainy “pictures” of a room asking me to pick which floor plan matched the picture from that perspective. I swear to you, none of them actually matched, progress reset constantly because I’d invariably pick the wrong one. It provoked such a primal rage in me, it felt like I was being gaslit into believing I was wrong when actually that captcha was cursed to hell and back. Thankfully my very patient partner managed to get through them for me and I only had to do it once to get the launcher to recognise my new pc.

    Concidentally, I only saw these captchas from hell on sites that also have their own apps. I suspect they’re trying to force you to use the app instead of the browser (while also training AIs of course).

          I’d love to see chatgpt try. Also it’s already most likely rendered as an image, which would further complicate things.

        It’s quite easy after you learn engineering-level math. It would still require some paper and patience, but it’s not hard.

        Only something around 5% of the people go there, but it’s a matter of going there, not being a genius.

            It is a partial derivative. Apparently you haven’t taken Calc III. I figured that would be basic math for most people. It is a shock to me that a person studying to be a nurse doesn’t need a degree in math.

            Never mind. I misunderstood your question. Also I was joking about the calc III is basic part

            To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

          It’s been nearly 35 years since I did uni level calc and I’ve not really used in the the years since - fucked if I could figure it out without a lot of <insert search engine of choice> foo these days

          That requires neither engineering-level math nor paper nor patience. All you need is the chain rule and some basic knowledge of sine and cosine:

          The derivative of cos is -sin, but because of the 6x you get an extra factor 6. The sine function is periodic on 2pi, so sin(6*2pi + pi/2) = sin(pi/2) = 1. So the result is -36

            It’s called engineering level math because engineers, physicists, and math majors are required to take Calculus.

            Yes I took calculus in high school but it’s not required. No I don’t remember much of any of it because it was decades ago.

            You also learned all the countries/capitals in Africa when you were in middle school. But I bet you can’t name them now without Google. Same thing.

              My “advanced” maths course did (from what I could tell) the exact same as the basic one and we started calculus before the classes were split, the only issue would have been the notation and half the class not paying attention.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s it - it is the same little swirly thing, just coloured differently and mirrored. I’ve seen worse.

    Just ask chatGPT, it can solve capchas faster than a person. Set up a script and boom, no more capchas issues.
