CAPTCHA solutions are useful to prevent that sites are abused by robot scripts.

However, some CAPTCHA solutions become a little to hard to authenticate real users.

This class implements an approach that provides a simple solution by letting the users pick numbers associated with given geometric shapes displayed around the numbers.
