The "puzzle" isn't the test, the test uses your browser history, mouse activity, etc to identify you as human (or not). The puzzle is used to generate training data for ML models.

Sure with a modern captcha framework that would be true. In this case, this looks like something that was custom rolled for their site so its pretty unlikely.

Oh, true, I didn't look too close.

Lol, well maybe not your browser history. That would be bad.
