On another note, I'm interested as to whether this was a paid human, or a really good bot. It apparently got through all three anti-spam questions, then navigated to the off-topic board to post the link. Pretty good, for a bot; it would have to actually try all words on each page forward and backward to guess correctly. So either lots of time, or a human.
If we get more of these AI-powered bots, I'll have to up the question difficulty.

More nontrivial questions. But if you do a Google search for "The highest US court is the US * Court", the answer is so easy to filter that even a bot could do it. But if it's doing that, how'd it break ours?
It's hard to say, really; the bot would have to be good at matching keywords in questions and brute-forcing the answer by any means.
Or, maybe it's just a human paid to go through a big list of sites. Oh well.

I have a good question. You could put a list of letters on the previous page in different colours like:
d s d p s w o d s l s d y s d d g s d o q w q n u n w e y z x b c x
Then the security question could be: "Provide the name of ENIGMA's most awesome member (spelt in red on in the list of letters on the previous page)"
