the moderators are checking that the pixel was computed by hand, not that it's correct

  The page does actually say they want to see intermediate results “so we can validate your work.” (Edit that quote has been removed now.) But there’s no promise that they will. The photo feature may be more of an automated speed bump, a way to reduce silly answers and pixel spam, and let people self-select, than an active human moderation tool. Moderating is boring and expensive in time and/or money, why would anyone actually sift through thousands of hand-written pages of arithmetic?

    Validate is slightly vague here. I interpreted it as "so we can validate your work [was done by hand]."

      Fair enough, I guess it is open to interpretation. The language on the page has changed now, the quote I posted is no longer there.

    > why would anyone actually sift through thousands of hand-written pages of arithmetic? 2840 pages. Doesn't seem crazy. Page looks like it was written by hand? Next. At two pages per second it's less than half an hour of work.
