To add on to this, I've started seeing captchas that ask for what would be considered elementary knowledge. Most of the time, these are in the form of answering questions like: 2 + 9 = ? or X - 3 = 14, but I've also run into picture identification ones as well. For example, they show a picture of a cat and ask what animal is it. Feline is the wrong answer, as is housecat. Here is an example of an image type capthca. This is a webcomic voting venue (this link is for XKCD) http://topwebcomics.com/vote/11401/default.aspx Typically, to prove that you are human, you are shown an image from a webcomic with text added to the image. You then select one of the three options given. I'll be honest in that it took me a while to even notice they put the text in the image.
