After refreshing a few times, I'm now greeted by impossible to solve captchas.

Also, this isn't normal captchas where you can get sounds or stuff. These are completely inaccessible for many people.

This is a typical anti-bot Google infra CAPTCHA. Happens if you suddenly fire off many requests, well known to anyone who ever attempted to scrape Google or even did a very quick burst of searches while trying to solve a problem.

Did it not accept "contour"?

I couldn't figure out the "t" on that one. Looked like an "r". I'd fail that one too.

Is contour a valid Norweigan word?

I see conrollr
