A few more specific comments:

* Anything requiring cultural knowledge may shut out users from other
cultures or with cognitive impairments.

* Anything requiring spelling may shut out users with dyslexia, motor
function impairments that make typing hard.

* Anything with just audio and video shuts out deaf-blind users.

* Anything with logic puzzles shuts out some cognitively impaired
users, and impatient users.

Most of these suggestions are workable but shut out users. The
question is what's worth it.

If it is a financial/ecommerce transaction why not just run a credit
card auth at order time to validate them?
