 Several users complained that the CAPTCHA displayed on
 bridges.torproject.org were very hard to impossible for them to solve. For
 me it usually takes 10 to 20 tries, when I do not give up. The 'H' in
 CAPTCHA means âhumansâ. If humans cannot even solve the CAPTCHA offered by
 reCAPTCHA, then we have a problem.

 Can we consider migrating away from reCAPTCHA? Also even if we proxy the
 queries to Google, not relying on Google would make me feel better.

 Otherwise, the problem needs to be taken to reCAPTCHA admins.
