I'm Not a Robot
8mon 2d ago by discuss.tchncs.de/u/JRaccoon in programmer_humor@programming.dev from neal.fun
New thing from neal.fun. I got stuck at the rhythm game (level 47) so apparently I'm a robot..
Seems like a missed opportunity. That is definitely "stop sign".

Help! What the fuck does "vegetable" mean after all?
Basically I just used trial and error on that one. It uses a strict definition of vegetable, no tomatoes for example. Potato head counts as a vegetable.
I did not select potato head and got through that one
Yeah, reading other comments, apparently it doesn't matter if you select that one or not
Non-fruity parts of an annual plant (and that strange guy obviously).
Oh, thanks... But I just want to say that your description isn't clear about corn.
It's not hard to try that one out, but for what purpose would people put a word like that in a language?
Corn, at least the part we usually eat, are the seeds, i.e. the fruit, of the plant.
I'm pretty sure I got it including corn.
Yeah, but tomatoes are berries and thus fruit, not vegetables
Yes, I left them, avocados and eggplants out.
It's optional. It also works without.
Lol, I just got it to work with the grapes included, so they're optional too. I guess because they're seedless?
Lol
It's included in vegetables.
No, I just checked again. It's just carrots, onions and Potato Head who are vegetables.
Edit: Either corn or potato head are indeed optional!
Since it took me an unreasonably long time:
Waldo is
Two squares below the sea and about 3/4 of the way to the right.
Where the hell is the guitar cat?
Start at the black food truck and go toward the orange seating. It's on the back of a guy's T-shirt who's sitting at the table one down from the couple who are bending down, one with his hand still on his beer.
Wow that was crazy, this must be intended for not a cell phone.
Accept my creativity!!
What hidden criteria am I missing??



The first one is genuinely impressive
I thought it's just a matter of colour count, but maybe you need more loops? Mine had more loops, I think, and after third colour it passed
I tried sketching with the entire pallet, loops and lines, total coverage... Nothing works!
I channeled my inner Bob Ross on the first one.
Did you erase much?
I did a bit on a few. The clouds on the Bob Ross for example and in others.
Hmm. I did something pretty basic, and it worked once I used all the tools and a couple colours.
There's some kind of irony here. It's a game about the weird tortured ways we try to distinguish humanity, and it can't distinguish real art from my rushed doodle.
I drew a crude stick figures, used all the tools, four colors, and it took it!
"Used all the tools"
So I flipped to Landscape on my phone and the paintbrush appeared... After adding a stroke it worked.
Aha! That totally makes sense. My phone has a super big screen hahaha
Quick edit: I didn’t notice the lack of a paintbrush in your screenshots! Also excellent art skills.
I'm surprised that Tic Tac Toe is even winnable. There is always a perfect strategy to force a draw.
Yeah, clearly it's designed to make a mistake sometimes.

I prompt injected the reverse turing (level 42)

This made me feel like I was having a stroke
I didn't think it allows diagonal, because it wasn't the case for me, that's evil 🌚
your solution was

Also reverse.
Then again, it's always be the same solution rotated, translated and maybe flipped.
It's a word search
Yeah I didn't get it either
I'm stuck at 47.
That's Human enough for me.
Right there with you. I wonder what the required accuracy% is, after many tries I can do around 80% but that's not enough
For me it says 85 is needed, and it seems to stop once I fall below 80%, so it always ends on 80% exactly
Edit: OK, I'm not sure if it becomes easier over time, like when chess pieces become queens, but I managed to beat it with 87%
It becomes easier over time because you develop skill. And i think after starting the first ones where it feels like one mistake can make you loose fails on later ones do less damage
I mean, skill somewhat helps, but it definitely feels like the challenge cuts a little more slack. I don't particularly believe in my skill growing this much 🤣
I got like 82% on my first try. Then 85% on my second. Just barely human.
How the fuck... Do you play rhythm games regularly? I can see that one being very easy for someone who does
Yeah. I play Beat Saber a lot.
i almost gave up on it.
then i just decided to talk to it in cantonese and that worked.
You mean the "have a conversation" task?
I guess using a different language might be the right play. After lots of failed attempts I talked to it im german and passed within 4 messages.
I got stuck on 23. :(
I gave up on 23. xD
spoiler
That rhythm game at the end was actual hell ;o;

You've got to be fucking kidding me

Luckily you get more queens as you fail.
I only needed five to win. 😓
That gives me some hope then!
The guitar cat got me.
As a mathematician I cannot be bothered to solve level 34. Guess I am a robot
Lol, the rhythm game is actually the last (real) one.
Oh, good to know. Maybe I give it another go over the weekend
I ragequit there, but probably continue tomorrow
And I was, in fact, a robot.
Do I still qualify as a human if I have to ask the computer how to sort those numbers?
I guess I don't either
The circle was impossible for me.
You just have to make it big I think. I kept on failing until I just drew a big one and got it on the first try
I got it eventually. Then got stuck on the Minecraft one and gave up.
one log makes planks, two planks stacked on top of each other makes sticks, then diamond pickaxe crafting recipe you can google lol.
Yeah, never played Minecraft n don't care enough. Guess I'm forever a robot
As a hint, the larger you make the circle, the easier it is... if you are fast.
凸(⊙▂⊙✖ )
I got to the "draw a perfect circle"... 94% is wild.
I managed 93.6% ... How frustating.
You were so close. I got certified human like one level later.
got stuck on lvl 15, couldn't park the Waymo in the traffic 🥴
Got stuck on panorama. Guess I'm a robot
Me too. No idea where the guitar cat is
There are three possible targets upon reset, I was only able to find a sign
Yes, I found the sign eventually. Thanks.
It asked me to find a kissing couple. Took a while!
the empire state building one was the most frustrating. luckily it's near the end of the game.
please tell me, where the 64th floor is or how to find it. I'm not gonna try every single line...
I used the first diagram, but the second seems more helpful. 64th was around five lines down the second step from top, the only important thing is that it's not split between several lines:
photo from 1963 with floor 64 marked

schematic design with some floors marked

39 is really fucking with me. i swear i'm not a robot, i'm just autistic. kind of embarrassing that the math one was easier than 'use your face to express basic human emotions' for me.
I'm concerned that the comments are talking about things I don't recognize so they must be further, and I'm on level 37 and can't figure out which men are AI generated 😭
Edit: it sounds like everyone talking about a guitar cat is because they got a different puzzle than me. Mine was find the kissing couple
It's three in total. Two are pretty obvious, the one I just guessed
i actually just brute forced the ai generated men one. *shrug*
An AI chat bot telling me my responses weren't human enough, unreal.
None of my answers on level 19 are being accepted. What gives?
Edit: I got it, it's vertical, not horizontal.
How the fuck do you do the Minecraft one?
I did that but it was blocks of wood and not sticks.
Gave up at this part.
First you convert wood to planks and then planks to sticks
I have no ideas why it's not working for me. I changed the block to the segmented block, then to sticks I think, then made the axe but nothing happens?

Those are buttons, not sticks. Use two planks to make sticks
https://minecraft.wiki/w/Stick#Crafting
Ok. I still have no idea how to do that.
You might as well have blocked my informational murder porn and asked me “how do you tame a horse in Minecraft” because I have no idea.
Thank you, though.
Fuck that rhythm game. The frame rate is killing me
Edit: and who the fuck puts the reset button right below the gaddamn left button!?!?!?
Omg. I finally got it!

Maybe someone can help me? Tip of my brain....
Years ago like 8-10. I found a website that when you dragged your mouse over the page if was like dropping water into a pool of water but it was some very trippy colors. It had a bunch of sliders to change color and frequency and stuff. It kinda reminds me of those 90's 00's music visual programs on PC. It was really fun and worked on phone I think with less sliders. I have been looking for this site off and on for years now and yet to find it. Maybe it was just a fever dream while I was on something. Help would be cool to find a memory of my past if it is still around. THANKS!
I love the internet man. At least the part that cultivates human interaction like this. I'm not sure if this is what I remember or if I am miss remembering but either way it tickles that part of my brain like I remember. Thanks lovely stranger on the internet!
I feel so accomplished...

but where is the couple kissing?
I'm stuck on 23 (the couple kissing)
It's...
It's on the street that crosses the left of the image, close to the street that crosses the front of the stage.
I have no idea what a cat guitar even means... Anyway, currently I'm stuck trying to express myself. No idea what it wants there.
I drew a stick figure and put a face and clothes on it
Oh, it let me pass after I discovered you can use colors.
if you reset the puzzle, the object you have to find is then the cat guitarist or the chillies sign.
spoiler
the cat guitarist is a design on a black shirt that somebody seated is wearing, somewhat close to the camera.
Stuck at 16, "Enter the text below" where it shows me black screen with half a > sign on a corner. I tried entering that, "the text below" and any combination of those words, and the enter character. What am I missing?
Something is definitely broken. It should show a 3D version of a normal Captcha, with letters and numbers spinning in 3D space. Have you tried refreshing the page? (It should remember your progress) And is your browser up to date?
It worked after a reload! I was able to advance a couple more screens but got another "enter the text below" with a black screen and gave up 😅
That one is black on purpose lol. Move your mouse over it, or touch it if on phone. Something might be revealed...
Touch the black screen
how many dots in the eye exam (lvl 24)?
Instead of counting individual dots, count the rows and columns. There's one dot missing so then subtract one.
Well. So am i
I have issues with the select all vegetables one it required me to put tomatoes (fruit) and corn (grain) in as vegetables.
So mental warfare in this thing too. It required me to deselect tomatoes.
I got to Waldo and said "not with these eyes on a phone."
you can zoom.
I can.. But too much panning. Still hard on my eyes due to the proximity. My eyes are only bad up to about 3 feet from my face, and then they get better that most.
I hate consuming anything on a phone, prefer a monitor I can sit back from, or a TV.
fair. there's a lot of only kinda gun fun stuff after that side from the good stuff. i gave up at math.
Eye exam later would make you feel even worse lol
I'm stuck on the AI photo one. If I was a robot I could probably figure it out.
Level 37: Imposters
Three of the pics are AI generated. Two are obvious imo, and then I just trial and errored the third one.
I wasted far too much time on that, holy shit.
I know, right? Fuck that rhythm game. But now I'm a certified human so maybe it was all worth it lol
Is tic tac toe even possible? All I could get is loss or draw, I tried every combination
huh. the bot went really stupid and straight up didn't block me at all.
It blocks me every time wtf
Just keep trying, it seems to play perfectly like 75% of the time but make a mistake on purpose every now and then
Reminds me of Kitboga's latest video
Forcing Scammers To Solve Impossible Captchas
He’s worked with Neal.fun before! He implemented the impossible password game into one of his fake banks.
This game made me laugh out loud (lol) multiple times. Thank you for posting this.

Level 45: Break up with your AI girlfriend
noooo 😢
I'm just gonna have to guess on 34. I don't remember my Calculus!
Yeh, 34 got me as well.
Fuck x by dx with bounds or range or whatever. Integrate this! (And I want you to imagine I'm grabbing my balls)
Oh I'm imagining it all right
No idea what the ikea furniture is supposed to be
I think it was a chair
Now it wants me to BEAT DEEP BLUE?!?!!
when you lose too often you get additional queens.
https://nextchessmove.com/will help you there
I got to 30 something, but I HATE slide puzzles so I nope’d out. I really wanna see other levels but ughhh
Yeah I got to the first slide puzzle and gave up because I never could wrap my brain around slide puzzles
I’m gonna have my partner, who also hates slide puzzles but is more stubborn than me, try it hahaha
That's evil! I like it
