Nothing to MD5, but the edge detection to find the blue dot would probably be trivial. Haven't we beat this horse to death yet? *ANY* CAPTCHA at all is going to stop the bulk of the spam. If your CAPTCHA is not the same (or very similar to) one that's employed on a large-market-share system, then it's unlikely anybody will take the effort to OCR/MD5/crack it. If somebody has enought time to OCR/MD5/crack it, you probably aren't going to be able to stop them, no matter what your CAPTCHA is. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
