In my case, I can read 'most' of them with little to no effort, but there were at least 3 that I had to squint or move closer to read. I've had perfect vision all of my life. What I don't understand is the value of having colored boxes that make it extremely difficult for the eyes to focus on the letters. BTW, I understand what a captcha is and its intended purpose, but I would argue that this is only one step of many for preventing computer bots to invade the fedora project. Mitigation is the goal here, I don't think it's possible to eliminate all bots, but it is possible to eliminate a few potential contributors because of something simple like this getting in the way.
