You think you're human until you spend 10 minutes trying to pass a captcha

In case you are wondering, I submitted this picture without the last square checked, and I failed the captcha (along with like 20 others - maybe I really am a bot)

@JenMsft
Thanks, I do indeed always wonder how to do these.
"How to pass captcha's" should be an essential subject at school.

@JenMsft I am admittedly the target audience for these accessibility affordances, but I like to remind people of those little headphones below. The picture craziness are there for everyone and about 1 million times easier :-)

@JenMsft
Maybe you should have just clicked "skip", as there is no square with bicycleS (plural)???

@JenMsft

Nice try, Robot! You obviously have no arms or else you would have selected the handlebars as well.

@JenMsft oh my great good God, I have been stuck on this infuriating one myself. I still don't know the right answer, I just answer until it gives up

@JenMsft there are zero squares that contain bicycles because there is only one bicycle in the whole thing

@JenMsft You also missed two squares with the handle bars.

That said, these captchas make me want to flip a table.

@me omg I didn't even notice 😭

@JenMsft And that's why these things are garbage. 🙃

@JenMsft Did you know that bots are already better than humans at solving captchas? They're pointless!

Also yes. And no I don't mark a rider as a part of a bicycle.

@JenMsft I always answer these based on each square individually. If you look at the square and can tell the object is in it without needing the context of the neighboring squares then select it.

@JenMsft entendo perfeitamente sua frustração e odeio esses captchas, especialmente levando em consideração que a gente está sendo usado pra treinar reconhecimento de imagens.
