The idea of the questions is that if you don't know the answers, all you have to do is Google - something automated spam accounts registering programs aren't sophisticated enough yet to do. Only real people.

The previous questions were all one word answers. Even the "Type the following letters in one sentence, "C", "A" and "T" can now be beaten by modern spambot auto registration programs, which can detect registration questions that already give the answer for the user to type in or those requiring the answering of a simple arithmetic problem, (eg. "what is 2+4?").

It's a lot harder, in fact near impossible for current spam programs to be able to auto-answer questions requiring answering a question of more than one word, that has to be done manually. But the problem with an answer of more than one word is that there's a lot of ways someone can give a correct answer but using different words - that's why asking users to complete a quote works so well as it has to be exactly the correct wording, which they can easily Google up.

We can but give it a try and see what happens.
