[tor-bugs] #26157 [Internal Services/Service - trac]: Text captcha does not obey order of operations
#26157: Text captcha does not obey order of operations

The text captcha asks a simple math question, for example:
> six plus two multiplied by four
The correct answer is 6 + 2 × 4 = 6 + 8 = 15, due to order of operations,
but the captcha system does not accept that and instead expects you to do
(6 + 2) × 4 = 8 × 4 = 32. This is confusing to many users who do
multiplication first, as they should. Please explicitly specify that order
of operations is ignored, or do not ignore the order of operations. Or
accept both answers to the ambiguous question (e.g. both 15 and 32).
I tried to post this on https://trac.edgewall.org/newticket, but they have
blocked submissions by Tor users. I am posting it here instead in case
there is a possible workaround on Tor's side.
