Whatever it is, it's malfunctioning. Answer the questions and it will follow up with endless screens asking you more questions until you give up. Yahoo needs to fix it!

That's called Captcha and it was put on to be sure it's a real person answering and not a computer bot or virus. Remember when every question had 20 answers that were just mixed up letters that meant nothing? That was a Chinese bot.

It is a new anti-spam measure to prove that you are a human and not a bot. It is being used to fight spam on the site.
