Some Laracasts Captchas cannot be easilly bypassed

I was trying to edit my own reply and I had to fill this captcha: What do the programmers say to the "world" ? I type all these: hello, Hello, hello world, Hello World, Hello world. None of them worked. Also when tring to make a new post the captcha's text is not fully visible (it could be because I have large fonts set). Also there was another question to make a PHP variable which did not accept $a = 1 .

I can understand the enthusiasm to have programming related captchas but the implementation is frustrating for users (at least for me).

hmmm...while trying to update my previous post I noticed that answers that previously worked (ex: $var="foo") no longer work. It seems to be a random failure.

So what is the answer to this question? What would a programmer say to the "world"?

I really like Laracast, don't get me wrong. But this captcha is really stupid... There are infinite answers to this question. I think it would be easier for a bot to guess the answer than fora human, which makes no sense at all.

I thought it was asking me for a snappy quote of my own. I put in "tattoo this onto the knuckles of each hand: "code" "fast". Yip my cleverness got me nowhere...

@raviawasti This thread is a year old. There was (apparently) a bug that made it not work a year ago. It works fine now.
