[blindlaw] LSAC Reader Settlement

Mon Mar 16 10:19:30 UTC 2009

I have encountered a different form of captia, where the site would say 
something like: "what's 4 plus 4? Type in the result in the box below." 
Others would even ask you something like: "how many months are in a year?" I 
found these to be much more effective than the other alternatives.
