Hi, I have made a Captcha plugin for ConfirmEdit called MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) Below is the usage of it
sample Captcha:
Pick the correct Option Number
We pray to 1.Time 1.God 3.Lion 4.Tomato ?
Answer 2
Why Beneficial ?
* Bots don't have common sense
* No Images so loads faster
* Most Important - Good support for i18n
* Further plans to let the user just select the right option rather than typing text
It is currently hosted on github at https://github.com/nischayn22/MCQCaptcha .
This is my first Extension/Plugin so it may have many faults, my apologies for that. Please leave your comments

I admit that I am not up to date on the state of the art in captcha cracking and image recognition, but... Has it advanced so far recently that giving a bot a 25% chance of success (at 4 possible answers) is better than hoping it doesn't crack the image?
Just sayin' ;)

Thanks for your reply. I have taken this in consideration, But images take a lot of time to load and sometimes ReCaptcha images are difficult for even humans to read, also i18n in this feature is pretty simple using Translatewiki.net which I think will be difficult for images (not sure). About the 25%, if the attacks are too much than we can go for images, but otherwise why trouble humans?

I think that this defeats the purpose. This would allow pre-programmed responses.
We're using QuestyCaptcha at translatewiki now because ReCaptcha got us some 10 spam accounts per day. QuestyCaptcha of course does not prevent interactive spam, but that's true for almost all captchas. Rate limiting reduces the rate at which damage is done a little more.

Thanks for your replies, I realize this is a faulty plugin right now for following reasons
* 25% probability * securing the questions and answers
I will see if I can remove them, again this is my first plugin and I am trying to learn so my apologies :)
