I did try to get literal with reCAPTCHA a while back, and it just never finished. "Select every image with a bicycle in it" or motorcycle or stop light. I would select the images that only had a WHOLE in it, not the broken up ones into several images. It doesn't like it when you try to answer it's question properly.

Anyways, there's several other captcha and anti-bot services now days, really would recommend people use a different provider, I hate reCaptcha so much.
