This appears to rely on a different idea of a captcha:

Here's a Microsoft attempt, with some nice cats:

Here's a few suggestions of possible AI solutions:

And here's a somewhat messy but also informative thread on breaking
(re-)captcha:

------
And this is an ironic comment on the situation: the official re-captcha
wiki with its changelog full of automated spam:

http://wiki.recaptcha.net/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500

It's the very same kind of spam as we get. It looks like a positioning
attempt, all these spam pages are interlinked. Didn't have the patience
to look for the 'gold' URLs among the references. Or to look for
references to TEI Wiki :-)
