Follow up (to my own post, boo):

Just signed up for an account at PipeDot and instead of a captcha they
give you a trig question.  Awesome!  And beautifully rendered, too -
maybe some sort of TeX running behind the scenes?  I'm not familiar with
this captcha alternative.

I also have forgotten my trig, apparently :(

sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ = ???
Is the answer "one"?  Hell, this site is tough!  (this, too, is a test
of Unicode and vim digraphs, ha ha).
