Broke that when I updated to the easy version. Nice one, failed the first try :). You should probably reload on failure, or maybe only after the 3rd attempt or so. Looks like you ruled out at least half of the spammers. http://blog.codinghorror.com/separating-programming-sheep-from-non-programming-goats/ |

This is a very simple demo page (you can even see the answers in the HTML source code). The forum will give you a different question on a wrong answer, as well as invite the user to reload the page to get a different challenge.
Hopefully I can find the regression and make it live again soon.

Let's hope the spammers don't get clever enough to let our machines (dpaste or drepl) solve that task for them.
You should add random syntax mistakes Vladimir ;).
