recaptcha [1] is very common at this point, offloads the problem to an
external service, supports visually-challenged users, and includes it's

If that's not acceptable to you, I'll just deploy calculus-captcha.
calculus-captcha is best viewed on this page here:

(reload a few times to see the fun they had in qualifying questions).
