Live Webcams: answer question to view?

[ferfoodle]

I just went to the Fun Ships Live Webcams site and had to answer questions to gain access???? The first was what is 7+7+1 and the second was is the earth a cube? What is up with that? Just strange IMO.

Maybe it thought you were Canadian and were winning a sweepstakes? :)

 

 

(Obviously not the case here, but Canadian sweepstakes winners MUST correctly answer a math question to win. I kid you not.)

 

 

Maybe it's the site's equivalent of presenting a "captcha" image to prevent bots from hooking up?

That is wild! I just looked at that webpage a couple days ago and did not see that, but now I do too. Must be something new. Must be some malicious stuff going on that Carnival is trying to thwart.

I dont know but I answered with the correct answer at least 15 times and it wont let me in :( if you go to .kroooz-cams it doesnt even list carnival anymore!!

Answered 5-6 questions, one was what color is a banana?!!!...crazy but it then allowed me into site to view cams.

It asked me if I was a Cylon. I said no and it let me in.

If you read the fine print, it says this under the text box to enter the answer:

This step is required against spam access.

 

Looks like they want to prevent other sites using their images

I wonder what would have happened if you answered "yes". Maybe a Cylon lives on a cube earth. :D

 

I can understand the viewpoint to ward against "bots", but more than one question (2 to 6 as reported) is just silly. After all, even when you have to type in the letters/numbers in those security boxes, you only have to do it once.

 

I was on the site earlier in the day yesterday - and it was not there, so brand new. Maybe they will get the quirks out in a few days so those you are answering question after question (15 as one poster reported) and still not getting on will be able to?

It asked me if I was from Mars. I said yes and it would not let me in lol.

Okay, that is funny. Apparently "The Fun Ship" computer doesn't have a sense of humor.:D

[Kitsunegari]

Does anyone have the answers?

[dragonsdesyre]

I keep getting a 'code typed incorrectly' error. Last time I checked, 5 plus 1 still equals 6. Who knows. :rolleyes:

[Texas_Diver]

It's probably designed to get us to the fun faster lol...BRILLIANT!

[Jamman54]

I've never had to answer more than one question. You guys need to study harder!! :D Just kidding!! What a PITA that is!!

[GaCruisersII]

Maybe they can start selling faster to the fun site passes......

I actually called Carnival's web technical line on that issue today. It does NOT work with Chrome. It does work on IE and Firefox, but not Chrome. I gently suggested it was time to get with the program and design programs that work with all browsers! :D

It works with Chrome, as that is the browser I use. But once again, I had to answer several questions in order to access the site.

I use Chrome, and since the last update it has problems filling in forms -- anything that you have to type into. Not always, but usually.

 

For these Webcams, it worked on my third try.

Just one question. Using Safari on my iPad.

Works fine and you will get at least a question once.
