Awww, that's cute! Finding a remainder from division by 3
(three!) is junior school arithmetic. And in this case you
don't even need to properly calculate it, only guess that it's
not zero. I don't see a good excuse to fail at it.
Not for someone who is just introduced to programming and doesn't
D want to attract newcomers? If so we cannot have a programmer
specific captcha.
I mean if you want to learn about history, what if history forums
presented you with something like:
"In which country was the first monarchy?"
You'd never know the answer on top of your head unless yoy,
A: Lives in the country that established the first monarchy
B: You google it (Which is an unnecessary burden, because you
don't want to be searching stuff just to post on a forum.)
C: You have studied history
D: You're extremely lucky or have gathered the knowledge in one
way or another, but most people will not know such answeres on
top of their head.
