A few important notes...

• Each time that a page is refreshed the image in the box changes and the person filling out the form is prompted to duplicate the text found in that box.
  
• If the text field is filed in with the matching text the form will be submitted. 
  
  
• If the box is left empty or filled out incorrectly the form will not be submitted.  It will retain any fields that have been filled out.  The page will also produce an error message directing the person to retry duplicating the text from the image.
