How about a Capcha that was a coding problem?
Some users do not speak english very well, so they may not understand
the problem that we are trying to express.
But they speak Pascal, otherwise why are they trying to register?
function a(b, c: integer): integer;
function d(c, b): integer;
begin
b:= c + d
end;
begin
a:= d(c, c)
end;
What does a(2, 3) return?
Mark I think you can do better than that!
Assuming you meant to write
function d(c, b: integer): integer; etc.
it is still a nonsense, a function that tries to alter non-var
parameters and has an undefined result.
It's OK to give newcomers to the forum a slight hurdle before entry, but
not to offer them this sort of hopeless hoop that can't be jumped
through, and suggests that the users of the forum can't write valid Pascal!
