A simple question will most likely suffice (e.g. What color is the sky?). I don't think hackers will waste their time hacking one specific algorithm, or system, unless you have a super popular website. Even then, you can simply rotate the questions. Another good one is to require a person to enter a specific word that can be found by clicking on a link. The best captchas are the ones you create yourself.

ReCaptcha's aim was to use the captchas to improve algos for ocr technology, kind of self defeating, but I guess there was a bigger picture. I imagine it will now be put to good use scanning books.

Cannot believe this. First Urchin, now this. Is anything going to remain independent anymore? Where’s the DoJ and EU anti-trust when you need them? Cannot believe this. First Urchin, now this.
