No need to recognize the horse. Just pick one of the pictures at random and you'll get the right one 1/6th of the time. Repeat ad infinitum--they're spammers and like to repeat stuff after all. That's why those conventional captcha images make you recognize a multi-character string: so the guessing chance is low. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
