Don't make people jump through hoops to use your site. Security is one thing, requiring anyone to first search Google to find the answer to your security question will only cause people to leave.

The idea of these questions is to make it impossible for a bot to guess.
It has been proven over and over that it doesn't take a difficult question to thwart bots. Just "keep it simple stupid." It's the site owner/manager that should be doing the work (staying on top of the security game), not the user you want to visit your site. Make it too simple for them and too hard for the bots. It ain't a difficult concept. It's an ego that always seems to get in the way of simplicity. Most folks already know you have smarts - you had enough to develop the site. Don't rub it in with inane questions.

Not to mention, a page refresh and you'd get a new question.
Maybe on your site. I only need one question. I want members to join my site. If I don't make it easy enough for them, they'll join another site. It seems to work for me. I have ZERO spam registrations - I never have had to kill one since installing this hack.
