Can you please increase the maximum difficulty of the sleeping sheep captcha. It’s a great captcha for waking up but you quickly get better at it and now I can do the one on maximum difficulty without fully waking up. It would be great if you could significantly increase the number of sheep needed at the highest difficulty, or maybe increase the speed.
Hi @Gene_Swinerd, would it help to use a combination of more tasks?
If a brain-teasing task is not effective enough, you can combine it with a QR CAPTCHA for example, and keep the barcode/QR code in a different room - this will force you to get up.
In the free extension package, you can have Multi or Random CAPTCHA, that cam combine more tasks.
Hello, thanks for the super quick reply. I actually already use the QR code too and it’s really helpful. I guess the reason why I think a more difficult sleeping sheep would be useful is for those days where I want to make sure I’m fully awake after my alarm but don’t want to immediately get out of bed (like for a QR code). I have also gotten into the habit of waking up, scanning the QR code and going back to bed then falling asleep (I’m really useless in the morning lol), because the QR code scanning doesn’t need much brain power.
I understand it’s not really a priority, and I have no idea how difficult it is to change from a coding perspective. If it’s complicated then it’s understandably not worth the effort at your end, but if it’s simple then increasing the number of solves needed for the sleeping sheep would be nice. I think it’s by far the best captcha out of all the ones with the app or the captcha pack. My only problem with it is it has gotten too easy. If it was 20-30 solves on max difficulty it would take me long enough that my brain has no choice but to wake up.
Which count would you consider sufficient for the highest difficulty? Do you think you might get used to it in the future as well?
(what about the other CAPTCHAs? Solving typed math seems to be pretty challenging for our users)
