#22067: bug system "captcha" prompt is misleading
----------------------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: michael.karl.coleman@… | Owner: nobody
Type: Bug | Status: new

Severity: Normal | Keywords:
Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0

----------------------------------------+--------------------
The captcha prompt for filing a bug (without logging in) presents puzzles
like "eight plus three minus two", to which a real human would reply
"nine". This answer is not accepted, though, as the captcha wants "9".
The easy fix would be to change the prompt to indicated that the answer
should be a string of digits, not the English spelling. Or,
alternatively, just spell the problem using digits (e.g., "8 + 3 - 2").
It's a good bet that anything that can beat the latter can beat the
former.
And while you're at it, you might as well fix #17791 at the same time
(i.e., fix the prompt to not suggest that the bug report "looks like
spam").
