Interesting though - the Xrumer software must have been manually programmed to automatically answer all of our human verification questions because since I've enabled the bot blocker plugin to block any registrations that take less than 15 seconds, it has been working (ie the bot is answering our HV questions so must be programmed since the questions are impossible to answer by a bot (well, ours are anyway due to the way they are worded in colloquialism and such that a bot would be unable to answer)).

Well... that or the HV system has a hole in it.

I have tested the latest version of XRumer, and saw no settings for the Q and A test. They say it's done by "averaging" whatever that is, the same way they defeat the CAPTCHAs. However, it is worth noting that before I used the time based test, my Q&A was always long worded instruction to copy/paste the question into the answer box. No bots ever got past that, since they cannot copy/paste.

Of course now that I have the time based test, I don't use any or the other human verification options. They're obsolete now.
