As Others have already mentioned it's not an easy task to fingerprint the images either since there are multiple problems at play for someone attempting to do so. First off, we are using multiple backgrounds with the icons placed on the backgrounds. To fingerprint you need to know what the icons are on the background. You can't just fingerprint the entire CAPTCHA because you the backgorund can change and so too can the order and position of the icon. Additionally, by distorting the icon to some degree, varying blending with background, colour, softness, pixelation, etc the entire image becomes unique. Also even if for some ungodly reason two images were generated with the exact same fingerprint (unlikely as hell), the question might be different. One question might ask what animal do you see? The other might say how many fish do you see? As such there are multiple solutions to a single CAPTCHA but only one is the answer based on the challenge posed.
