Petition to replace captcha on /sci/ with mathematical equation.
Bump here if you support this. Only unique IPs and posters will be counted.

I support this if we use this equation.
[math] \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty n = ? [/math]

Nope :^)
It should be a quiz about our favourite scientists.

>equation
Too easy. Replace it with a proof.
>>7762417
>replace captcha with proof
>suddenly only europeans are able to post
>>7762405
The question should be "Are the reals real?"
The answer is no.
>>7762425
we need another wildburger thread to be honest.

There should be an entrance exam

3 supporters guise!
>>7762545
Make that 4!

If possible, it would be cool to have the captcha pertaining to the thread topic
that's a dank idea

noice
>>7762405
Not like you can stop people from just punching it into Wolfram before they shitpost
bots would be better at solving it than most people that post here
>>7763104
present the equation/question in a picture, like captcha does already.

this

How can maths be real if the universe ain't real
>>7762405
I agree.
Fuck homework plebs :^)
>>7763426
Dude, you're posting on a site owner by a jap. This is weeb territory, get over it.
Anyway, the problem is a spambot could simply use Cramer's rule to solve the equation. It'd be tough to implement this in a way that's actually secure.
>>7763089
They'd still have to know how to properly input it.
Only if it doesn't include negative numbers I always get my signature wrong ; ^)
>>7763089
differential equations are easy to put in words and there's no way they could figure out how to write it in a way suitable for wolfram
>>7762649
24 already?
Dumb idea. If it's difficult, it's gonna be annoying as fuck after the 3rd time. If it's easy, it's gonna be cringeworthy and look like a highschool board
>>7762405
As a math postgrad I would not bother filling in that captcha just to post a single post in this shithole. Especially not after it's filled with pretentious twats who would actually bother to still post after that.
it's Science and Math. Not everyone who comes here has to be a math expert. Some of us are biologists and chemists which only has to deal with a very basic level of maths.

cramers rule? are you trying to say we should use linear simultaneous equations you absolute mug?
>>7763492
>a spam bot cannot recognize pictures or jagged letters

no

>ITT: ideas mods don't give a shit about
Oh, I have one! Let's make it so the OP of the thread can ban people from and delete posts from his own thread.
>>7763492
by your logic I should only post jewy stuff on facebook since its owner is zuckerberg
gtfo with your tripcode and shitname, lardass
I support this. Even putting a simple geometric proof will filter out all of the /pol/ and /b/tards.
>>7763492
Lol as if systems of linear equations even fucking get close to the minimum skill this board needs.
The new captcha would be for people, not for bots, fyi...
make the equation P = NP to see who knows their shit on /sci/

Bump

On a related note, what is the best science anime?
>>7763729
That's retarded.
Threads will just become circle jerks.
Atleast OPs idea could be tried for april first

this actually happened BTW. anyone remember when they 1st added capcha to 4chan?
>>7762405
I love this but it would have to be a word problem because you could still spam by feeding an equation directly into a CAS.
>>7765697
Why do I want to read these. I'm not even that much of a weeb.
