“This is not a blog post.” (Ceci n’est pas un article de blog.) Philosophically, does that mean the text/image of the blog post is not the true blog post? Steve, I knew you were into ultimate ideal mathematical reality…
The object here is not to answer the question correctly, but to give an answer that more closely mimics other humans, than other bots.
If you think that the bots will answer correctly, then you may wish to answer incorrectly.
If the image really was offered as a CAPTCHA, I wonder how many people click no squares.
Can someone explain this to me? Why wouldn’t you just click on the “all tan” squares (i.e. the squares the don’t contain any part of the pipe)? Or is the problem that part of a pipe isn’t itself a pipe? I know I missed something deep here…
You have missed Rene Magritte “The treachery of Images”
Ooooooh, thanks Harold!
