And still they keep coming. Five more since your last delete.

Even Biblical questions with fixed answers must be easily defeated by bots.

If simple arithmetic was insufficient as a captcha, make it more
complicated.

Even the question must be unpredictable, or at least have an unpredictable
parameter.

e.g. What is the nth prime number?

Where "n" is chosen at random within the range [say] 15 to 25, and not
displayed numerically, but displayed as words, (making adjustments for how
ordinals are written) i.e.

What is the *twenty-first* prime number?

Moreover, the list of possible questions must not be inspectable by means of
"view source".
