was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm
we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans

Also some crabs get very very large.

in reply to Molly White • • •I suspect that whoever wrote the captcha text didn't stop to consider choice of words, quite possibly not even realising that there'd be a problem.
Your description, @molly0xffff, tells me that s/bigger/biggest/ would be appropriate.

I've written about the ridiculousness of CAPTCHAs and how they're an accessibility nightmare. Most things that claim to distinguish humans from computers are really just separating users into groups of "desirable" and "undesirable."
If anything, this mosaic of blurry animal jpegs and confusing instructions just makes that categorization even more obvious.
