CAPTCHA hell

The better spammers get at solving CAPTCHAs, the harder it becomes for humans to prove that they are, in fact, humans. RECAPTCHA, in particular, has become annoying lately. I often fail the first attempt (or 100% of the attempts if going through TOR, for some reason). Here is a list of CAPTCHAs, see if you can solve them:

That's "pœna", not "poena".

It would be a mistake to think it was "Miftake"

Is it "1300.8", or "1300.8 or "1300.⁸"?

    They're possible to solve if you use Unicode; you still have to find the right character (what language is the word next "orampla" written in?).
    Whether or not ReCaptcha accepts Unicode answers is a different matter entirely; from experience I think the answer is no.
