"Our proposed method achieves a success rate of 97.4% on a 100x100"

I think that is higher than what I get when I do it myself.

I can never get the street lights one, and then it gives me the bus one, which i can never get right either and then finally it gives me the bus one. Which I am 100% at, maybe.

this is ReCAPTCHA v3 which does not include any of the image recognition tasks. It's just a matter of clicking the checkbox

Typically if you "fail" the checkbox (which somehow happens to me a lot) you get the bus and street lights and such that the other posters are referring to. What are those if not ReCAPTCHA v3?

reCAPTCHA v2 apparently. reCAPTCHA v3 is advertised as never interrupting users at all: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3

Which is kind of horrible, since it means that you might not be given an obvious opportunity to change your score if you fail.

This can be pretty frustrating and we’re occasionally hopeless what to do. Especially when there’s no apparent reason for the low score. Eg https://github.com/google/recaptcha/issues/248

>reCAPTCHA v3 is advertised as never interrupting users at all

That's got to be a joke, since I have to pass the challenge like 99% of the time, not exaggerating. Of course, I have my browser configured in a privacy conscious way, so...

If you can see a challenge, it must be reCAPTCHA v2 instead.

So does v3 fall back to v2 if you fail it?

The bus, the lights, the hills have nothing to do with your success rate. It's all about using Chrome and being logged into google.

You fail at the bus and then get 100% on the bus?
