I don't think so. Computers cannot use emotion or 'common sense' without it being specifically coded into them {AI anyone?} Irrelevant to the point of the login questions at hand however.

The rotation was but one example. Combine it with a random square, line, circle or other such little bit on top of or merging with a letter, and all of a sudden it becomes that much more difficult. Code would have to be put in to a bot to accomodate for most letter flaws in order to 'recognize' the question, and thus give an answer to it.

So for any trained computer software it doesnt matter if you use "*" or "<3" as multiplication sign - the "added" confusion is just at the part of the humans.

Sorry... I didn't realize my comment endorsed those little hearts. I didn't think it did. I don't like those little hearts. I really don't
