Comment:

 We do allow anonymous edits in some specific namespaces. ;(

 Test_Day, Test_Results, and Fudcon namespaces.

 We moved from the harder graphical captcha to the math one to allow easier
 access for blind folks. ;(

 So, I guess if this starts happening more we need to re-evaluate the math
 problem vs captcha thing again... but hopefully this was a one off.
