I'm starting to think captchas have a mistake threshold I have to pass because stupid humans have to make errors

What was that saying park rangers had about people not understanding the handle on bear-proof trash cans?

I think it was roughly "there's significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans".

On the "choose all the squares that contain _____" there's a heatmap so if roughly 40% or more of people agree on a square you'll pass.

if roughly 40% or more of people agree on a square you'll pass.

then picking what 40% of people picked shouldn't make you pass, cause you're in a minority. your original argument is invalid.
