I have seen another variation. At times, the question is a (presumably random) simple math question. At other times, the question asks you to enter a single character: "Please enter the letter 'g' in the field below:"

Presumably, this makes it hard enough to screen out more bots; easy enough for real people to get it right.

I'll see if they'll share the code snippet... or perhaps someone else out there has it.

Thanks so much for this tip, this is great!! I did find this code, I think this guy is awesome that he is willing to share it with others. He gives it away because he only wants to make the web more accessible.
