I've recently made a discovery that pleases my petty side.

You know how they usually give you several questions to solve, even if you're quite convinced you solved a question correctly?

Turns out if you click randomly, they keep showing you new questions as well. If, after a handful of purposely wrong answers, you answer one correctly, they let you through.

I now purposely mess up the answers a few times. It seems neither slower nor faster than actually taking the time to do it right, but it takes less mental load, and it makes me not feel like doing slave labour for a machine.
