New Layer of Comment Spam Protection

As of today, if you decide to comment on any post at Marketing Pilgrim, you’ll see a new layer of spam protection. As long as you know basic math, you should have no problem posting your comment - and if you don’t know basic math, well…
This has already cut down automated comment spam to virtually zero, and should help me better identify false-positives in Akismet. However, as it’s new, please let me know if you find any bugs, or your comments don’t appear.
Thanks!

Hey Andy,
Have you had any bug reports since adding the math plugin? I tried it on a blog I had and it caused comments to be buggy when the subscribe to comments thread was also enabled.

Not yet Jeremy, but I only had it installed last night.

I tried to leave a comment on another article. Spam protection: Sum of 4 + 5 ? Well, I am no math genius, but I think that = 9. Anyway, it said I got it wrong.

What you think? I doubt will be over taking Digg anytime soon. Not a bad name though. So anyway, I thought I would try to drum up some free traffic with you marketing guys.
Thanks!
I tried every number from 1 to 20, no luck.
