Craptcha 

Craptcha (noun): Based on the word CAPTCHA (the Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart), it is usually used to refer to a reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha puzzle that is poorly graded or designed, sometimes denying access despite correct answers or having ambiguous technicalities that make completing the puzzle incredibly difficult (and occasionally impossible). It is seen much more often in hCaptcha than reCAPTCHA due to Google's processing power, access to powerful image recognition algorithms, and datasets used for training the puzzles (as reCAPTCHA has access to Google Maps data).

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
