[image: i.imgur.com]I don't know if you guys make these questions or if someone else does, but this is bad. Otter was the correct answer, but Polar Bears can swim, as can Madonna. Proof?

Polar Bear
Otter
Madonna

I mean, this is unnecessary. But really, I'm 100% sure this is wrong and some others that I have seen have been questionable.

Sofia and trousers too, lol.

If anything... swapping it to " can't " and having locusts as the answer would make more sense...

Sometimes you need to use initiative and pick the best answer. In this case Otter is obviously the best answer.  Torn doesn’t make these questions.  You can also try different options to get through if you find one like this.

Just like with al multiple choice problems, always read all the answers and then pick the answer that best answers the question.

I tell my kids all the time.. there are going to answers that can fool you. Read them all and then pick the best choice. If you are unsure narrow it down to the two best and then pick the one you feel is probably right.

However, yes... that was a really poorly thought out multiple choice list.

Torn will be getting rid of Captcha's at some point in the future, so I feel there's really no need for this to be looked into.
Thanks for the report in any case.
Jefayette [2044515]
Otter isn't really the best answer. While they can swim, polar bears can also swim. Therefore, the two answers are equally good.

“Under the water”

think about images ages you see of Otters, they’re usually in water. polar bears are usually on ice drinking coke. Otter is the best and most obvious answer.
Jefayette [2044515]
I don't live near otters. I haven't seen an otter in years. I am concerned about melting polar ice caps. Therefore, I think more about polar bears. Therefore, polar bear is the better answer for me. For others, otter might be the more obvious answer. It's individual :)
flufffy [494285]
The best answer for you doesn’t mean it’s right. You could always google some images and you’d see otters swimming more than polar bears.  
Stewie [1494547]
If you two want to debate which the best swimmer, do it in private. If it helps, I would have went with Otter.
I'm going to lock this thread now as there's no further issue needing to be discussed.
