This is not my pic because I forgot to screenshot it when I did it. Microsoft has the hardest captcha I have ever had to complete. This one looks easier but I had a similar one that on my phone the images were too small, not recognizable and were more abstract looking shapes. It was so hard, I failed like 8 times (there were several ‘rounds’) and it almost made me second guess whether I might actually be a robot lol. Luckily, there was an audio version where you have to pick from a number of melody recordings and choose the one that was a pattern. Anyone else have trouble with this?

    no the correct pattern is 52, using the following method:

    • for each column, superpose the outer diagonal lines of the first and second pattern, lines that appear in both symbols are suppressed in the third (bottom) pattern, lines that only appear in one of the two first patterns are kept.
    • for each column, superpose the clock hands of the first and second pattern, only keep the clock hands that appear in both symbols at the same position.

    The third column has the same diagonal lines in the first and second pattern, so they disappear. Those two symbols have different clock hands so they also disappear. So the only remaining element in the pattern is the central dot (52).
