It sounds like you are doing the math JS similar to my method on my
blog, but I'm not providing the answer.  That's a good idea.

I agree, it's not hard.  It's just an annoyance.  Honestly, I like the
math problem more than the obfuscated text captcha that most people use.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to resubmit forms because I got
the text wrong.  That's just stupid, making your user go through that
much trouble.

If I were to rank the various methods by how annoying they are to users,
here's how I'd do it (1 is most annoying):

6. No spam protection
5. Approval queue
4. Hidden button or form field (Ben Nadel's idea, assuming it works)
3. Click matching images (cfformprotect)
2. Math Problem
1. Obfuscated text CAPTCHA

The only reason I put Ben's idea below the approval queue is because it
might not be accessible to blind users.
