Or, as was established on a BBphp forum, change the captcha for a question captcha

But there would be a finite number of questions, for a net of bots it's easy to try to bypass that by brute force and note the right answers, not?

Hey, math hurts. Seriously.

Wow.

Actually, I like solving problems and spending time with my notebook and papers - discovering the solution always brings me this feeling of great accomplishment, but tests are not for me. One more reason why I hate tests and especially math ones: I dislike time limitations. I just start to feel anxiety flooding my body and I can't focus properly on what I need to do.

Could be I simply care too much and therefore am afraid of failure.

Yeah, I also don't like that. Time shouldn't be a requirement to prove your knowledge. Rather, exams prove your writing speed and your ability to vomit things from your head to the paper without time to think before, especially the history or philosophy ones >_<
Yeah, that 4/10 still hurts me XD

I don't like time requirements. I've always struggled when I'm given a task that must be completed in a certain amount of time. I see the point when such tasks aren't excessively given, but when it is you can't prove what you can do at your potential in 40 minutes. For such in fact people should be given as much time as needed (as long as it is not used improperly). Unfortunately people don't have all day to wait for the best piece of work.

RANT: I finally got an invite for Ingress, turns out it doesn't work with my phone for some reason. Darn you Google! Also I have tendovaginitis, so I can't use my computer or guitar that much D:

[Vortex]

It doesn't work with phones with a resolution smaller than 800x600 or so, if I remember well.
Also, what is tendovaginitis? a tension in the vagina? :B

[azareus]

It is where the tendons in your wrists are inflamed, causing extreme pain whenever I lift anything over 1 kg or use my hands for anything really. The cure is not using my hands for about two weeks D:

[Vortex]

Ouch... sorry for that D:

So you can't even make yourself a dinner?

So you can't even make yourself a dinner?

Well it is worst in my left hand and I can lift things etcetera with my right hand, so it is going fine

I just have to be careful not to forget and lift my bag or guitar or something with my left hand D:
