Ask HN: Why it's impossible to create a Microsoft account?

[phpisatrash]

I'm trying to create a new Microsoft account. I'm stuck in the stupid human test for almost 30 minutes. I can't pass it. I changed it to the audio test and then switched back to the visual test and i can't pass them.

I had same problem! It took me really really reading the instructions on how to turn each image to understand what it wanted. The audio I could get right sometimes but not every time. And everytime you make a mistake, it ++ the amount you have to do by 1!
