the CAPTCHA challenge in Ubuntu Software Center is much too difficult to solve for a real human being

Bug Description
software-center 5.2.4, Ubuntu 12.04
software-center 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04
1. Switch to a guest session.
2. Launch USC.
3. Choose "Turn On Recommendations".
This really may be two bugs, but the latter one is a lot more irritating:
1. For some reason Software Center keeps asking me to create a Software Center account on startup and also whenever I try to turn on recommendations. This should be OK, except that I created an account months ago. What happened to it?
2. Well whatever, then I shall register again. Unless there's a CAPTCHA challange which I can't solve. 0/40 success rate (est.). Guys, please. I'm a human being. 0/40 means that this CAPTCHA is nearly unsolvable. If I'm wrong, then go on, prove me wrong.

Also it looks like I'm not alone with my opinion:

Hi,
I am usually not to bad with captchas but the registration with the software center was way beyond everything I would consider to be reasonable. I guess it took me over 15 attempts to get a single hit with the captchas.
cheers,
