I'm sure most of you would of seen these,they are used on sites like ticket sales to distinguish between human and computer input,its like a box(for those who are wondering what the hell I'm on about)that has a word or numbers in and they have lines and are all funny shapes,and you have to repeat the word.
I was booking some tickets the other Day on a site and it took me about three attempts to get it right,they were really hard to distinguish and for some old people or those with poor eyesight they must be a nightmare.
Has anyone else come across some difficult ones?

There are some really difficult ones.. they don't need to be that hard though.
Most of the sites that use re-captcha have two long words to type in - why? Three or four numbers would be plenty.

Take it from me, it is sometimes.

One I tried three times, then gave up.
