Bad math alert... (10000 * 100) / 1000000 = 10 ;)
Still the same answer though, was just mixing what I wrote with what I
was thinking :)
Bleh, what's wrong with me today... it's 1% not 10%. Still within reason
for a spammer.

So, that means that you need to allow maximum of 10 attempts per few
minutes, so that there will be 0,1% change ;)
Also, I wasn't thinking about just one test. For each additional test
the odds for success reduce by 99 percent. In other words, 1 test = 1
percent, 2 test = .1 percent, 3 test = .01 percent -- at what point
would not be within reason for spammy?
Would it be too much to ask the user to click three times? I dunno,
but for myself, I would rather find something and click it three
times than to decipherer and enter several screwy letters.
Cheers,
