Lots of places use the more inclusive  math problems these days.  My 
favorite though is the one at a site called darklordpotter.net.  those use 
harry Potter related questions, which likewise show up in text.
Do you  mind doing one more test?
go back again, and when you reach the non inclusive captcha, just hit 
enter on the button  that  would send the content.  I am interested in if 
a, the site detects that the field is empty, or b, you get the cookie 
request  message.
Thanks,
Kare
