One of my favorites we use on SCD...
How much dirt is in a six foot by three foot hole?
Idiots and spam bots alike fail that all the time 
Even I would fail that considering we use the metric system making your method of protection from spam bots inneficient.
A lot of spam accounts are registered by humans; you could put a quadratic equation as a CAPTCHA, if the person signing up knows how to do it, they'll get past it.
>how much dirt is in a 6x3 hole
>dirt in hole

/facepalm
I've seen that question posted before and it said 6 x 6 x 3 then, 6 x 3 could just be a square on the ground

Now having a default option to enable it with built in support for it is a good idea though.
I agree!
Also if the default Captcha be customizable, it would be very hard to break it using a bot. We are not have to use same width, height, fonts and methods for all MyBB forums. These could be random and customizable.

You are right, Captcha is not supposed to stop humans. We have to leave them to moderators.

umm, there is no dirt in the hole (thus it being a hole)

And yes, the answer is "none".
