The Cellar - View Single Post - New anti-spam technique implemented (mods take note)

I've changed the Human Verification Method to "Question and Answer". Now, instead of a CAPTCHA, they have to answer a question to get in.

The current question is "What seven-letter word is the name of the highest mountain in the world?"

The answer of course Everest

Here's the thing. The question and answer have to be understood by everyone we want on the Cellar, and not understood by third-world spammers OR by automation. They have clearly solved our "what is four plus five?" question.

I figured Everest is pretty universal, but if they figure it out, we may have to switch to something a little more difficult. That means culturally-biased.

So, here is the perfect politically incorrect problem for you to solve. What is the right Question?
