About 1.2% random success rate
Were I a bot, I could easily up the volume to get that by accident.
Make it 4 kittens, and you're at a .8% success rate.
Make it "kitten, dog, pony" in that order and you're at a .2% success rate.
Your typical "type in this word" gives bots a far lower success rate than any of these options.
However the user friendliness of it might make it a winner.
Cheers,
Ben
PS There is still no defence to a bot that displays what it got to the user of a porn site, who has to enter the answer to see the next dirty picture.

You haven't heard of that scam?
Set up a porn site that is free. But for every picture you want to see, you have to enter a phrase identifying you as a human.
Have some bots doing stuff on sites that require you to enter such passphrases.
Display to the porn browsers the images that the bots come up with, and then have the bots send back the answers that the humans entered. If the bot gets through the confirmation page, reward the human with porn.
Cheers,
Ben

Ooh, good one
Kind of like Project Gutenburg, but in real time. Distributed human image recognition.

How to challenge the whole chess club
and win at least half the games. Old scam as you just pit them against each other and play mailman forwarding their moves around the room.

Ooh, good one
Getting all the games started would take some tap dancing, but once underway it runs itself. Awesome.

That happened to at least one grandmaster...
he wound up playing himself at correspondence chess. For money. And realized this was going on.
What he did was to deliberately make a series of stupid moves, such that by deviating his opponents could both get huge material advantages. They took the bait, and he went on to win both games.
I forget which grandmaster this was though.

I don't think it'll work very long.
I believe that many people are working on ways to index pictures, [link|http://www.springerlink.com/(n4fp4t45ji0sko45smmnum55)/app/home/contribution.asp?referrer=parent&backto=issue,7,7;journal,3,32;linkingpublicationresults,1:101757,1|movies], [link|http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~knopke/publications/icmc2004template.pdf|music], [link|http://john.cs.olemiss.edu/~rice/FindSounds.pdf|sounds], etc., based on the contents of the files rather than the filenames. With fast enough computers, and good enough algorithms, it probably won't be too long before bots can figure things like this out.
It's interesting though.
Cheers,
Scott.

Easily adapted to porn sites also.
