Maybe we need to roll our own captcha with Purebasic logic.

There is a new form of captcha. I like it, because it´s based on human behavior.

Only a machine can solve many of those textcaptchas (Why did they make such a Thing?!), I´ve already "played" those new captchas. It´s faster and funny :D

I think mouse movement would be easy enough to simulate as would be timing of key strokes, logic is harder to simulate.
Googles text Captcha rely on getting a known word along with an unknown text which
has been scanned from a book or document that's getting digitised and since it's an unknown
neither a bot or human are penalised for the guess of the unknown
the one word you need to type in is the one that's easily recognised by either a human or bot.
