I was using manual posting technique, but I am not able to post comment in any site.

May be my URL “gigaturn” has been listed in block-list by wp-comments-post.

Any solution for this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The math questions are being used a lot at the moment! I think that they will go out of fashion, because it is going to be easier to crack than an image captcha! A computer can read a web page and add 3 to 5 also!
I have seen image captchas on rapid share, where they put a captcha with dogs and cats behind the letters, and you have to type the letters that have a dog behind, that’s smart but a big pain because its all blurry!

CAPTCHAS isn’t difficult to read!

CAPTCHAS shouldn’t be difficult to read. Every implementation I’ve ever seen is terrible. Computers are pretty good at OCR, so why are we providing humans with an OCR problem? The one thing we know humans are better than computers at is logic problems. A better CAPTCHA would be “type the second word from the end of this sentence”, then you’d type “this” to pass the test. How about alternate the font color of each word and tell them to type the blue word?. Or alternate the size of font and ask the user to type the word with the smallest font? Or the word that has a smiley face instead of an ‘O’? Or type the first letter of each word in the sentence? Humans are better suited than computers for all those problems.
