Captcha is pretty hard to read

[Joe Brockmeier]

Hey all,

So I encouraged a friend to sign up for a FAS account recently and the
feedback I got was that the captcha is nigh-unreadable. Example here:

Since most of us don't sign up for new accounts on a regular basis I was
wondering if folks were aware how abstract the captcha has become?

Best,

Yes, I agree it's probably hard to read for a new Fedora user who wants to
start contributing, and I also had to look twice to understand the math.
Not sure how much we can do to improve the actual captcha without
substituting it completely, so I'm copying in the Infra folks too to see if
we can improve the readabilty in some way.
Thanks.

I looked at it multiple times and still have no idea what the math was.

11+54 I think, but only because I know we are doing additions also in the
wiki, otherwise it would have been harder.
