But it's probably not any harder to "crack" than the traditional
WORD_AS_IMAGE captchas -- One just has to write an algorithm to
edge-detect the blue circle instead of edge-detecting the letters and
converting them to ASCII.

Actually, edge-detecting the blue circle is probably easier, when you
get right down to it.

It's the same kind of basic "robot vision" that's covered in CS
Algorithms 101 class.
