New members are having problems registering with the forum

Just got a message back from someone I recommended this forum. He can't register because he doesn't now the answer to this question:
"What is this website all about?"

He has tried all the usual suspects: "311s", "datsun roadsters", "datsun sports" and so forth.

How can new legit users find the answer to this question?

Thanks,

Did they try "The coolest car ever!" Just kidding, this must be something new, I don't remember answering this question when I signed up.

I recall something about a login password, but can't find the post. This is a question for the boss.

I remember seeing this question, but don't recall having any problems with the answer! I'm sure I answered something to the effect of "all aspects, both esoteric and technical, of the automotive wonder that is the Datsun 1600/2000 Roadster."
I mean look. I'M HERE!
:D

It is "Datsun Roadsters". This has all but stopped the spam bandits.

Any way to post that below the question and still keep out the spammers?

I've seen sites post it like this, should probably work
Type the following backwards as the answer sretsdaoR nustaD or
Enter the following without the dashes D-a-t-s-u-n R-o-a-d-s-t-e-r-s

I added the answer with the question. If this becomes a problem I will remove it and regroup.

Perhaps it's a bit obtuse. :smt003

Well, that did not go well. Already had my first spammer this morning. I removed the answer and changed it to "Datsun Sports". I added the answer to the main page.
