RE: Example of accessible CAPTCHAS that work well

HI Ginger and all

I have also seen the simple math ones, but that does assume 1) English ability, 2) cognitive ability.  I've also seen one that asks for # of digits of the phone number, or the whole thing.  However then people wonder about spaces, area codes and so on.

Dear all,

Regarding accessible CAPTCHAS I found a very few so far where one has to
solve a very simple mathmatical question e.g. How much is 3 + 4?
In my opinion that is quite accessible or do I oversee something here?
