The problem is that bots can use google too. So anything which turns up in the very first google result is used. Which is why we don't use math questions like 1+2= because google will tell the bot the answer. I've tried to come up with questions which a human would need to respond.
The question asked me to add the number of inches in a foot to the number of wheels on a bicycle. I don't think centimetres in a metre would be any more or less bot-friendly than inches in a foot within that context.

Except the captcha is present before the user is even logged in (notice how you have to reenter your password as well as answering the captcha), so the server can't use their profile at all.
