Here's a captcha game: let's say we want to have a
site which we want generally accessible to yanks but
not to developing-world English speaking Turing
machines. We want it text based, perhaps trivia
questions that nearly all yanks will get immediately
but non-yanks won't.
Turns out it is very difficult: you would need
questions that cannot be solved using Google (that
is a huge challenge in itself) and ideally would
work for people of all ages.
The ones I thought of will be easy for yanks, altho
some may be difficult for children (defined as those
younger than ~40.) Europeans, did you get any of
these, even with Google? Yanks over 40, did you
miss any, even without Google?
