Whats up with captcha!

I understand people dont want bots signing up on forums and stuff but I was just at rapidshare and I think I saw one of the most annoying captchas ever. The only way it could have been worse is if it was being inverted every second. Also those ones that ask you questions, sometimes trip me up. "who was the 17th president". Im supposed to know that off of the top of my head?!

I thought the answer was hxag, but apparently Im wrong...

Your thoughts?

That is dumb. I hate tose. Why do they even mess around with the font? Can't they just put simple, clear letters?
