-CAPTHCAs (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans
-Apart) are simple tasks used to verify that the user is a human and not a
-computer. We developed a unique CAPTCHA system for <SmileText/> that is fun and
-engaging for participants. The Smile CAPTCHA is a series of tasks that are easy
-for humans but difficult for computers. The tasks happen quickly in sequence
-with a timer requiring fast responses (limiting the ability to send the
-questions to an AI). In addition, the set of tasks is diverse and requires
-language understanding, intuitive physical reasoning, fine motor control and
-perception, and object recognition. A few of the tasks measure known cognitive
-phenomena specific to humans, such as patterns in reaction time.

-<SmileText/> we use a simple CAPTCHA that asks the participant to click on a
-specific location on the screen. This is a simple task that is easy for humans
-but difficult for computers.
