The goal is to answer them just well enough to convince it you're human, but wrong enough that you spoil the data.

Monk: Even the ones that are super-ambiguous as to whether the traffic light continues into another square?

Buddha: Especially the super-ambiguous ones.

All life is suffering, but through Solving Captchas, we can overcome all, including suffering.

No, wait, that wasn't it...

The thing is, recaptcha often immediately allows you, if you do mistakes.

Try to wait a bit in between, select a wrong one and deselect it.

Fuck recaptcha, all my homies use random Darknet website letter recognize Captchas
