I just made a few pairings and all my attempts succeeded.
Also we have statistics showing that the rate of failures in pairing solvings is low.
Do you match by color matching as it is written in instructions after overing over question mark?

Are you asking about puzzle?
Note it is just one of the possible types which has less than a month and it can be changed by other type in a month while someone will be thinking how to solve it.

Are you implying that spamming is not detectable? Then, why to bother?

Do you know any service that would change their captcha after it is cracked?
We offer it

We do not have to we shall receive this info anyway when  and how KeyCAPTCHA was broken from our customers requests to our support

The costs of changing a captcha does not depend on number of users. They are all on our KeyCAPTCHA  servers.
When we change captcha the customers that already installed it do not need to reinstall it.
When new type appears (like puzzle that appeared in December, 2010), they just need to enter their setting webpage on our server and choose if they want additonal type to be sent to through their already installed KeyCAPTCHA ar as well by choosing from a set of values (currently, they are "All", "Pairs of objects", "Puzzle) in "CAPTCHA type" dropdown list.

That's essentially the case with ordinary captchas (significantly more difficult to solve by computer than to generate by computer), and will be the same with KeyCAPTCHA

Can you give me any examples of widely spread or even any  captcha service that has changed its type of captcha or permits its change on the fly (for customers who already had it installed)?
We can change the type of our KeyCAPTCHA in a very short time.
