Topic: Registration verification problem

[Your God is on TV]

Just joined and just wanted to report a problem with the registration process. After filling out everything I proceed to answer the verification questions as follows:

1. Whatever you do, don't eat the yellow __________. (I answered "snow")
2. There are fifty _________ in America. (I answered "states" for this one)
3. Rudolph the _________ -nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose. ("red" is what I put for this one)

Well upon filling in the blanks with the above answers, it refused to let me register. A prompt above saying I had made an error in a verification question and highlighting that question in red, which was the first question.
I'm pretty sure the answer is "snow" right?
Nevertheless after getting the same error message a few more times I was given a new set of questions which I had no issues with completing the registration. I just would like to point that out to any other people who might encounter that.

Thanks.

It is obvious that your answers are incorrect.

1. Whatever you do, don't eat the yellow __________. (I answered "snow")...correct answer "perch"

2. There are fifty _________ in America. (I answered "states" for this one)....correct answer "employed people"

3. Rudolph the _________ -nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose. ("red" is what I put for this one).... correct answer "makeupless"

sorry

those questions are obviously there to prevent noory from registering, since he would not know even the simplest answers.
must have worked...

Really? I mean, really?  Why would the answers for a basic verification operation to determine whether or not you are a bot be that esoteric? All the answers you just gave do not fit the popular context of the questions. Luckily the second try I was able to muddle through it.  You know, being the obvious noob I am.

    I think those questions are Euro-centric, racist and clearly written for honkies and I'm contacting the proper authorities to have the test thrown out.

I agree, and I recommend the following additions...

"_____تجوع الحرة ولا تأكل"
(بثدييها)

"اجتنب ______ الكذاب فإن اضطررت إليه فلا تُصَدِّقْهُ"
(مصاحبة)

"سمك ___ ماء"
(في)

    Ah, a little too easy.

   1 is "Allah Be Praised"
   2 is  "The Crusaders and Jews are evil"
   3 is   "The Jews and Crusaders are evil"

Close!  3 is "Early to bed, early to rise, death to the infidels."

      You're absolutely correct, that damn 3rd squiggle always gets me. But 2 of 3 means I got a 67% on the test, and that combined with my "Native American" designation(because I'm native to America) has ensured me a tenured post at some bureaucracy somewhere.

i FINALLY saw this thread and have corrected the problem.  thanks for posting about it.  apparently, rather than answer with the word "snow" you should have answered with the word "white."  yeah, i know.  really dumb.  i hate to think how many people failed the registration process because of this and gave up.  it's sure to be a few, and these verification questions have been in use for a LONG time.  jeeze.  this blows.
