I rage-quitted on the third captcha


I ended up getting through by selecting them all.


The worst was the initial scroll offset. I was wondering why the last row had no checkboxes below the images, and was unable select those images. After three or four times submitting that damn dialog I noticed that I can scroll up.

I also had to scroll down the terms and conditions dialog twice because I thought I could just click the text in order to toggle the checkbox.

8 minutes and something. Very painful.


I gave up after the 6th captcha or so. If the answer is to check them all then that's a bit dishonest, because some pictures technically don't apply. For example, glass windows are not "glasses".


"glasses" also means things that are glass. Like Pyrex and phone screens are both examples of glasses.


That's true, hadn't thought of that.


I selected them all -- on every one it looked to me like they all were the thing -- I did not pass. At least not if getting another captcha means you didn't pass.
