      @gleick Oddly enough, the only website I visit that consistently asks me to do this is the Metropolitan Opera in New York. At least they don't say "Prove you're not a tenor."

            When you use a VPN it is almost every time. About 30% get sent to the picture puzzle.

              You really learn a lot about how much you're being tracked when you start usinga a VPN.
