Not for someone who is just introduced to programming and doesn't 
D want to attract newcomers? If so we cannot have a programmer 
specific captcha.

I mean if you want to learn about history, what if history forums 
presented you with something like:

"In which country was the first monarchy?"

You'd never know the answer on top of your head unless yoy,

A: Lives in the country that established the first monarchy
B: You google it (Which is an unnecessary burden, because you 
don't want to be searching stuff just to post on a forum.)
C: You have studied history
D: You're extremely lucky or have gathered the knowledge in one 
way or another, but most people will not know such answeres on 
top of their head.
