Comment (by grarpamp):

 recaptcha(google) doesn't just solve books anymore, they read house
 numbers for maps, names, and whatever else they need into their monolith.
 If helping to develop that bothers you, you need to ditch external
 captchas in favor of internal engines. One such engine...
 http://www.phpcaptcha.org/ (SecurImage)
 http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

 If you get word from google why they seem to serve hard captchas to most
 Tor IP's and easy to non-tor, post it here.
