How do I interact with it? I tried picking the colors, but nothing I tried did anything.

You can drag the slider. Clicking doesn't seem to work.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox.

It took me a minute to figure out, you have to drag the circle up and down to select the number. I had expected to drag the whole bar - oops!

Edit: Also on FF. (85.0 on Linux)

Literally the only thing I didn't try moving was that circle blob.

It definitely could be made more discoverable, maybe with a bigger "handle" around it to show draggability. But I really love the idea of a combined educational tool and spam deterrent.

Strange. I'm on Firefox and it works for me.
