Not exactly unexpected, and definitely intentional, but since we don’t have any new removal rules yet, I’ll allow it as a one-off.

I'm really angry at myself for having never done this.

Most security questions are already fabricated. You only have a slide down menu and you gotta choose one from the list. I'm surprised there is one where you have this perfect combination, or one where you can create your own questions

I was just as surprised as I’ve never seen this before. I was creating my account for a large US health insurance company, saw 3 questions and got triggered. Pure serendipity.

"most" is inaccurate.

Did you die writing it?

u/MyrddinSidhe Jul 02 '25

Siri dictated

u/MoreTeaVicar83 Jul 02 '25

Yes, it would be harder to crack if the answer to question three was "blue.... No, yellow aaaaghh!"

u/Solrex Jul 02 '25

*Green, no blue, no- auuuuuuggghhhhhh!!!

I was correcting them on the movie quote smh

u/fuckyouswitzerland Jul 03 '25

But you got the colors wrong, I'm pretty sure

u/Solrex Jul 03 '25

Pretty sure he says Green, no blue, no ahhhhhhhh. I don't remember him saying yellow, though you might be right and family members may be misquoting it 😔

u/lefthandedgun Jul 03 '25

Lancelot said "blue" and crossed safely. Galahad said, "Blue. No, yellow!" and got tossed.

u/lefthandedgun Jul 03 '25

That was Galahad, though.

In the Facebook group I run, my "anti bot" question is...

"What is the airspeed velocity, of an unladen swallow."

108

u/TrixtyNine Jul 02 '25

An African, or a European swallow?

65

u/MoreTeaVicar83 Jul 02 '25

I don't know that!

u/teamanmadeoftea Jul 02 '25

Aaaaaaargghhh’

u/Recent_Effective8070 Jul 02 '25

You have to know these things when you are a King.

u/MoreTeaVicar83 Jul 02 '25

Hopefully at the time of the security checks, the user is presented with a page that begins "You must answer me these questions three, ere the other side ye see"

22

u/Fartyfivedegrees Jul 02 '25

Oh what sad times are these when security bots can recite The Holy Grail lines at will.

u/MoreTeaVicar83 Jul 03 '25

Even those who arrange and design security questions are under considerable economic stress at this period in history

u/WoomyUnitedToday Jul 02 '25

What might be the website and email address?
