We Need to Confirm Your Identity…
Look at this image. This string has allegedly been formed using numbers and letters from our standard alphabet. RNK9? PWK9? FNK9? I’ve got the K9 part down pat, but the first half will require a few more brain cells…
How many times have you filled out a huge online form, and then get stuck at the end at the final step? Apparently, to prove I’m not a robot, I need to see an image of letters and numbers, and enter them in.
That would be fine and dandy, if what they presented me with was actually legible to a human. Perhaps I am less talented than the rest, because I NEVER get these things on the first try. It usually takes me about 5 or 6 before I’m presented with one that doesn’t look like a random spoonful of mangled alphabet soup.
Can’t we have our retina scanned or something? Anything that requires as little thinking as possible will be suitable for someone with the brain capacity equal to mine, or less.

Perhaps it’s part intelligence test?
