I don't think it matters, as that isn't the real test. Instead, it's testing whether you are "behaving" as a human. Mouse movements, hesitation etc.

@[email protected] Then why does it keep repeating it if I get a tiny detail or a letter wrong?

To give you hope... and despair. In the end, it wants to witness your human suffering. Shake that mouse.

Yeah, and if you move the cursor convincingly enough, it will just give the check mark without showing any pictures.

It starts checking your browser, input devices, screen info, etc, before you even click the are you human box.

I suspect it knows you’re human and keeps track of those people who are good at clicking the image, so they can harvest more training data. They know who will keep trying, and give them more images to verify.
