"exceeded maximum number of log in attempts"

[rdearman]

The answer is Carl, which means Harry's sister has a typically male name. I also found the sentence very hard to parse.

For me the only login riddle I never managed to solve was this one:

Group the following 8 words into two themes of 4 words each: Car, Hovercraft, Dinghy, Phone, Oar, Remote-Control, Calculator, Anchor:

Both must be something like a "programmer's joke".

Boats and electronics...

Boat stuff: dinghy, oar, anchor, ?
Electronics: remote control, calculator, phone, ?

[Iversen]

car: electronics?

car: electronics?

The electronics are on this inside, just like the remote control and the calculator. You wouldn't buy a remote control with all the electronics and batteries on the outside.

It doesn't make much sense to have this message display every time you log in, correctly, on the first attempt. If it's to prevent spammers, then the message should only display after a set number of login attempts has been exceeded, incorrectly.

I'm all for having Captcha as a login requirement, but it's senseless to require users to log in twice, every single time.

it's senseless to require users to log in twice, every single time.

I found the "keep me logged in" checkbox pretty much eliminates that issue. (by not having to login so frequently )

Where's this checkbox?

[Iversen]

On the second login screen (the one with the riddle). An by the way, you can just type "x" twice in the first one - no matter what you use you will be seeing the page with the riddle. Howver the "remember me" checkbox will save you from seeing it so often.

Sometimes I get the question "... what is the bus drivers sisters name?"
So far, I haven't been able to figure out the correct answer.
Is this the LLORG equivalent of the Kobayashi Maru test?

@rdearman can you give me some hints as to the correct answer?
