We've started implementing simple mathematical questions, like "what is 10 + 3?" My thought is that numbers are more cross-cultural than language, you don't have to w worry about spelling errors and small addition questions don't require a lot of cognitive processing. So far, spam bots haven't caught up with this simple approach. If spam bots start catching up, we can simply change our array of questions and answers. Juan C.

What is the first month of the year? You just need to make sure that you accept *monday* and *Monday* from the user. We have one site that gets 6-10,000 visits a day, and spam was a continual problem, until we implemented this simple solution.
