Really? I couldn't seem to prove that I was human. I thought it just threw you into an infinite "prove you're human" loop at the end.

View on HN

There is a vertical scroll bar. You need to check them all because they're all checks.

I scrolled down and still couldn't see the checkboxes under the last row. Maybe it also doesn't work on Firefox, because as trivial as it is to make a site that works everywhere no one does. Normally this frustrates me, but if that's the case here it kind of makes sense.

The checkboxes are actually above all of the images.

I tried scrolling down, realized I couldn't, then scrolled up to find the unfilled row at the top...

LOL LEGEND

facepalm this is even better.

I’m pretty sure the top row of check boxes doesn’t appear until you scroll back up.

I did exactly that as well. I’m also happy that there appear to be several different captchas, as others mentioned ones I didn’t see. The best one I clicked through was “select every picture with glasses” and every picture had either eyeglasses, drinking glasses or panes of glass.

In case anybody missed the humor in this, like I did the first time round: all of the pictures denote some kind of "check". Like with the bows.

There are pictures of people checking things – a watch, and something else I can't quite see.

There are games of chess in a state of check.

There are monetary checks.

There are check boxes.

Mine was "select all checks" and had plaid cloth, chess kings in trouble, checkmarks, x marks, bank checks, etc...

The one that almost got me was the popup with the timer that said "hurry up" but instead of a "go away" box it had a "full screen" box. I don't know how you are supposed to get rid of that box, I had to inspect element->delete node to get past it.

I did manage to finish in a little over 5 minutes.

The copyright symbol at the bottom left is followed by "lose". Very insidious.

> I don't know how you are supposed to get rid of that box,

    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox')).forEach(e => e.click)

You need to check every box.
