Yes. Definitely. I'm not sure I could figure that out right now. Too tired.

Umm, making a thread for it is...


Guess they should call it "Are you a human being?"

-67 + epsilon :D

If people want to talk about it, then why not make a thread for it?

Never said it's a bad thing, just that it's over the top...

That's the worst spambot check I've ever seen. While it's nearly impossible for the majority of humans to do without finding some sort of tool to assist them, I'm pretty sure I could craft up a spambot in about 3 minutes that would solve any math problem worded like that (provided it's text and not a Java applet, my OCR skills are rather lacking).

I could probably do that in game maker o.o

I agree, but perhaps that's the test. A spambot would solve it and type in the answer, while a human would just write "wtf" or something like that. :D

Anyway, since there is no comma in the text I believe the answer would be about 1.39297278 * 10^-22, but I'm not sure...

I got:

sqrt(395025/(1242^(23-67)))^3 = 4.0454067809900981335180095139205e+212

This problem isn't even feasible WITH a calculator because of the many different ways it can be read.

I read it like this:
cuberoot of (395025/(1242^23)-67). :P I still think "wtf" would be the correct answer. xD

I'm a little late to the party, but... where is this?
