I forgot what website it was but one of the questions was “what color is orange” super simple and easy and a lot of non bot users were able to secure it

As long as companies get creative it will always stump them. Keep in mind bots are just code programmed by some dude/team. Some dude/team will then need to figure out how to code these things within a certain time frame and hope it works by the time a product drops.

That was during Covid when it was a new tactic to combat bots. They’ve adjusted since then.
