as a colourblind person I can very rarely read the first two words that appear. I constantly have to hit the refresh icon to get the next set of words. It usually takes 7 or 8 attempts to find one that I can actually read

I rather like the " 3 + 5 = ? " style.

I wonder why they don't go a bit further and do simple times tables? 6 * 8 = ? Prolly afraid they'd lose half the internet. ;)

One I found just after reading this, " |_| - 3 = six " with the input being the little box.

Very effective.

What about a simple dot to dot. where the user just has to join the dots (maybe four or five randomly placed dots)

What about text-mode browsers, like Lynx?
