Captcha madness

The Help Desk captcha is driving me nuts. I first reported 2 bugs, with the first one I had to click through over 20 pages of images where I'm sure I got almost all of them right. With the second one it was over 10. Then I tried the 3rd and last report, after over 20 tries I started refreshing and skipping pages and all kinds of stuff, eventually after over 50 tries it blocked me saying it suspected me to be a bot, and now I can't finish the report. This is ridiculous. I did a search and apparently I'm not the only one having problems with these image captchas:

    There's a Sign-In link at top-right - click that (assuming you are logged into Daz) and you should immediately be signed in to Zendesk and not need to enter your email or complete a captcha.

    OMG I filed a sales ticket the other day and while I am not supposed to discuss that I will vehemently gripe about the endless captchas! I am pretty useless at those things and after each set had to go back and fill out a missing irrelevant part of the form to my query I missed probably 5 times in all and about I kid you not 50 Captcha images, I was fuming and ticket still in process ....

    Well I'm sort of okay with them if they work the first time, and it's clear what you're supposed to do, but googles image captcha is an unpredictable guessing game, if not right out full of bugs.

    Well, at least the captcha isn't to the Lovercraftian, Great Chthulhu sort of (mountains of) madness.  :D

    I'm probably a bot, I sometimes have trouble telling a lake from a road signfrown
