Spambot/Human Hurdles

While it is fresh in my mind, my first post requests that the spambot prevention at account creation be corrected so that humans will more likely enter the correct info.
It asked me:
Type the first three letters and the last two letters of "3hr5tb26" into the box:
With those instructions, an english speaking human will likely enter "hrttb" which is the first three letters followed by the last two letters in 3hr5tb26. This human fails the spambot test because despite asking for "letters" it is expecting the first three characters and the last two characters which is "3hr26".

I dont recollect anymore, but believe this same question is asked everytime. One could easily spam this question (infact using a http flow and text parsing :lol: ) Why dont you consider asking different questions everytime?
