One method that has begun to be used with good success over the last year or
so is to issue a logic challenge in plain text that any human - but no bot -
can answer. I can't think of any in-use examples ATM, but it might be
something like "What is a female parent called?" Perhaps even simpler than
that. You have a selection of them and present them randomly. I can't
remember if this technique has an official name, but it's worth looking
into, as it seems the best approach all-round.
