If you want to pull your hair out try going to Bitcointalk via TOR! I visit maybe 1/3 of how often I used to. Annoying is an understatement.
I wouldn't be so hopeful as to take google at it's word. Anyway, what the question is, is there actually anyone on the planet who has solved one of these things?

Just thinking the same thing. The world famous creator of the most highly advanced spider and scrape system who invented it to begin with.
That is ironic. Way back in the day, I vaguely recall the idea that Google was just there to help find stuff. And to archive content. But then someone pointed out that they needed some way to profit. And here we are.
