That is captcha for you. They say “click all the bicycles”. One bicycle covers 16 squares and you need to wait 5 seconds between clicks, click randomly. Once that is done, you need to do the same thing all over again, for three more pages …and the captcha times out in 2 minutes. By then you say “screw it” and go on to another website.
And some of them just aren’t fair. I recently saw a very pixelated set, where you were supposed to click on buses.

Tedious, often poorly presented, and basically useless. Just another bar to getting done what one wants to do

Captchas are blatantly discriminating against robots. Something must be done about this.
