Now that a new security system is in place, in order to log into the BHO, I wonder how many of you have inadvertently failed any of these 2nd grade captchas ?
Nobody fails - everybody gets a trophy
Whaddaya mean.... "inadvertently"???? 
Back in my day, we didn't learn multiplacation until THIRD grade.
Don’t worry, we've left them all behind.
If you've created a bot that can't handle math, I've got a job for you.

Onto a tangent ... as an uncertified spec. ed. teacher I assessed a teenaged student who subtracted by making a series of tick marks [minuend*], stroking off the subtrahend* and then counting what's left. Apparently she used this for numbers up to 100; I never asked about numbers >100.
But, in trying to give some rationale for division I did ask [different students]: You have 17 players... you win $1000 in a hockey tournament .... how do you divide up the winnings? The answer was to take the stack (?) of bills .... go round the room handing out the bills [from highest denomination to lowest] until it was all handed out. Unequal amounts weren't viewed as a problem ... it would all "even out" over the course of the season.
Another teacher, working on percentage, gave this problem to the class: The price of a ticket to Thompson on Calm Air is $135. They put on a "15% off sale." How do you find out the price of the sale ticket? The answer, from a grade 10 girl: "Go ask the lady at the counter."
Whatever works!! 
* not to worry .... I had to ask the all-knowing Google in order to write ^^.
