Here're similar projects:

http://textcaptcha.com/demo
https://github.com/rsanheim/brain_buster

But honestly I think this is a YAGNI. We're not big enough for
spammers to bother paying for it. I think even basic (e.g. reCAPTCHA)
barriers triggered by obvious things (e.g. page blanking, link adding)
would be perfectly sufficient.
