If you’re like me you sure as hell aren’t a robot and you’re willing to prove it.

In this you’ll have to prove it over 48 levels.

Waldo is confounding me currently

Are you picking culinary vegetables that are fruit in the botanical sense?

I cant promise the game is fair or accurate in any way and I’m sure it is not compliant with diability regualtions.

Well I got past that one with the help of ChatGTP but level 47 Din Don Dan is going to be completely impossible for me.

Look on shirts

I just scribbled using every tool at least once and three different custom colours where i adjusted every slider.

Do you have to get it on the first try? I needed retries already on upper case vs. lower case, and on fictional vegetables. ETA: oh, and you’re expected to _win_ at tic-tac-toe, not just prevent a computer win.

You can certainly progress if you have to start over again.

The “draw a circle” challenge took me countless tries, and I ended up cheating (which I think is what a human would do, so I consider it a valid win).

(I ended up dangling a perfectly round thing in front of my monitor, in this case a wireless charging pad, and centered it in the box to draw around it with my mouse.)

Using AI to get past something trying to prove you aren’t a robot suggests a massive flaw in the test.

Level 19: In The Dark. I don’t get it: the figures are written so poorly that one can’t be certain what they are (B vs. 8, I vs 1, etc.), and it’s not obvious how to translate their positions into a one-dimensional text string. If the scurrying insects have anything to do with it, I’m whooshed.

OK, the chess engine it’s using isn’t very strong (it passed up mate in 1 like three times in a row), but I’m way too rusty.

I thought the same thing, I refreshed a couple of times and finally got characters I could understand.

Using the touch screen was the game changer for that one.

I’m currently blocked by the stupid diamond pickaxe.
