I was in a drifting party today, and I got a "Test" to ensure that I wasn't botting. It gave me a math problem: 2+2, and below the problem there were four buttons. I clicked the fourth button. Then, on the second time I got the message, I tried to do it quickly because I did not want to lose my combo. It gave me the problem 2+2 again. So I clicked the fourth button again. But in the chat, I saw a message: "Wrong". I'm not sure if this message showed up during my first bot test too, because I didn't look.

I didn't bot!
What happens if you fail the test? :no:

But I think I do remember some other numbers below the problem :confused:
Possibly:

2+2 <-- Problem

1. 3
2. 1
3. 4 <-- Maybe the key? ( If 4 was correct answer, press button [ 3.]? etc.) I'm not sure if this
4. 2 was the set of numbers shown to me. But I do remember there was something below the problem
[ 1.] [ 2.] [3.] [ 4.] <-- Buttons

Can someone clear this up for me? I'm getting worried :no:

Yea... It is one heck of a confusing check up thing... I keep forgetting which number is the correct number myself. I don't think they will do much of anything about this anyways.

I think if there is a GM online at the time and someone fails the test, the GM messages them or something... Also, I have heard that if you don't press a button, it automatically logs you out?... Maybe a failure of it is supposed to log you out, but it doesn't?.. I don't know for sure.

I have failed that thing about 30% of the time because it confused me every time. I have gotten that message probably about 50 times... Nothing happened to me. I don't think you have to worry about it.

is that to ensure people don't just go afk and get coupons for doing so?

Probably. You normally can't tell if someone is botting or not just by talking to them.
