One question that I apparently answered wrong for years as a German are the traffic lights. In English, traffic light seems to refer only to the assembly of two or three lights used to control the flow of traffic. The equivalent German word most commonly refers to the entire installation, including the pole, button (for pedestrians and visually impaired), speaker (for the visually impaired) etc.

So I selected much more than what Google expected me to select, I selected all the cables and poles as well.

I'm pretty glad that hCaptcha at least gives me an example of what it's looking for



Wait, you don't have to select the whole pole ?

...


This always throws me off, if it says 'Select all cars' for example and there is a car going into the next part for 10% but the main thing of that square is a tree or whatever, do I mark that? But I also always select the whole pole, no idea if it's right


Can't wait for self-driving cars to always crash into the outer part of a car because it looks straight past it thanks to our square-based teaching.
