I don't have a problem completing Google reCaptchas, personally.

Are you sure you're not a robot in disguise? :y

Zirk, I am with you on this one. My heart sinks every time.

Shopfront. How many? Who knows. Some stupid squiggles that may or may not be an i or is that an I .

On the Volkswagen forum Ifrequent, the question is “what is the greatest car company ever?” Well you could debate it but in context it is easy unless you are a robot.....

Funnily enough they do. We used to use  the branch in Fuengirola but found that inconvenient and their prices even with two for one type offers were more than more local Spanish places.

As a side note, did you know Captcha are owned by Google? You may ask why? Well the answer is simple, they get people to highlight 'all the cars' or 'all the signs', we get access to whatever and move on. Meanwhile in the background, Google are using us to train the AI for better picture recognition.

reCaptcha is provided by Google.

CAPTCHA actually stands for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart" and there are lots of people providing the generic technology; just only Google using it to train image recognition (which, coincidentally, is also the most effective captcha. I guess until they successfully train AI, at which point it'll stop working ;D)
