Well, it looks like maybe it’s *supposed* to work without JS - if you have JS disabled it presents the captcha in a slightly different way (saying "To make this process easier in the future, we recommend you enable Javascript.”), and then if you answer correctly it gives you a 186 character string to copy then paste into a second text box. When you do that, what happens with me in the Tor Browser is instead of letting you get to the site, it just starts the whole captcha process off again from scratch.

A bug in CloudFlare’s stuff?
