You'll find this when registering:
- If the bot writes in the wrong box (or in more than one) it will return an error.
- If the bot writes a wrong number/text it will return an error.
- If the bot doesn't select the box on the left it will return an error.
A bot will not be able to read all the information and will fail. The field you have to fill is random and the field name too (in the shot you can see it's the third option, but it is randomly ordered.

This is the code that users will have to write. Don't make it very long or it will be very hard to users.
