Ah ah, that was what this was about.  You aren't supposed to solve the
"maths puzzle", just re-type it into the box just the way it appears.
Regards from
Tom :)

Anne,

Correctly completing the CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing
test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is your key to establishing an
account on the Wiki site maintained by the Document Foundation.

We all have to pass that test to establish an account. And then, as we
all do, you must authenticate with your personal account to make edits
or add new content to the Wiki.

Have a read of this Wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA
and you'll understand what the intent is.

Stuart

      Thanks for responding;
          I've been attempting to do just that -
              it states I must log-in to the wiki site ... so I attempt
to set-up an account ... each time it states there's some math question
with a blank to fill-in to prove I'm not some robot - but not finding
this, I continue on only to be sent back to the initial log-in page  ???

      HOW does one avoid having to sign-in to this wiki site before
being able to access the LO portion of the site ???

      I've looked all over the page, but cannot locate where this
supposed question/blank is located  ???

      Has no one else been required to log-in to the wiki site first?
...
is this something new they've added? ... is there some help/contact page
to send questions - and where they will respond with an actual answer?
