Possible varient - just display three images and then ask people to
click on them in order, for example Click on the dog, then the cat,
then the bird.

To increase the number of varients  security you could allow images
to be clicked more than once Click the cat, then the cat, then the
dog.

 The feedback I got on my first release of CFFormProtect was great, and
 the biggest concern was that bots could successfully guess the correct
 image with a 1 in 3 probability (33%).  CFFormProtect now only has a
 6.6% chance of being broken.  I did this by displaying the three images
 twice, in random order.  You have to correctly click on two of the six
 displayed images, and if you are incorrect you get a new random set,
 with a new correct answer.

 The goal with CFFormProtect is to make form validation brain dead easy
 for users, but very difficult for spam bots.

 Planned for the next release:
 1.  Improve image loading speed (I already know how I'm going to do
 this)
 2.  Set a failure limit; after x strikes, your out
 3.  Display 9 images instead of 6, to increase security (this would be a
 setting, so if you think 6 is enough you can easily change it)

 Please give me feedback, and feel free to submit patches if you wanna
 fix something.  :)

Good ideas.  The only thing that bothers me about that is it makes the
user think more than I wanted for this.  But it could be an option, or
variant like you said.  :)
