Damn - I postulated something similar here, last year I think (maybe on community). In my case I was talking about using single pictures and asking three multiple choice questions (for example: how many people have a hat one? 0, 1 or 2; In the picture its? Daytime, NightTime or Can't Tell; The people in the picture are looking at a? Table, TV, Oven. ) The same idea tho' - a captcha that could be answered completely by the mouse and with much less ambiguity. Three radio buttons and you're in. I know... it's not like it's a hugely original idea. Still - I kind of like my idea better. At the very least: 1) A paragraph could be written that describes the image (but doesn't make getting the answers very easy) for the visually impaired. 2) A single image can be larger and easier to see/use - with the MS one I actually was "botted" at least once because the same pictures are sometimes really awful - I couldn't tell if the brown splotch was feline or canine. 3) The MS one is open-ended - you don't know when you're "done". There could be 5 cats or 3 or 7 - it takes more thought (I think). In mine there are three questions with three answers each. It's a little clearer how much work in entailed in moving forward.
