i feel as if the drug names they're posting about sound a bit made-up; what the hell is zocor or xydep?!

Drug names are pretty weird - better than asking your pharmacist for some (1S,3R,7S,8S,8aR)-8-{2-[(2R,4R)-4-hydroxy-6-oxotetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]ethyl}-3,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,7,8,8a-hexahydronaphthalen-1-yl 2,2-dimethylbutanoate though.

Damnit, I thought our profile question "A Creature in Magic has both Power and ... ?" was keeping them at bay.

Have changed it to "What color is Snapcaster Mage?"

[Tom Reeve]

The first one I added to our forum when we had a brief bot problem (with captchas proving their worth as both obnoxious and ineffective) was "What is the word after the fourth word in this sentence?"

Works veeery well. Anything that requires parsing actual English and that can't be one-step googled should be fine.

The answer to your question Tom, is 'no it isn't'. :)

"What" is not the word after the fourth word in that sentence, "after" is. :P

[Crispin Bateman]

In order to keep it magic related, you should have something like:

If you had some paint the colour of Snapcaster Mage, and another pot of paint the colour of Goblin Welder, and you took these two pots and mixed the paint together, what colour would you have?

Only if you're somehow parsing a question as a statement despite the presence of a question mark, in which the dumbness is on you!

It is testament to how well I know you that I knew exactly what your response would be. ;)
