I could not find an implementation that would suit my needs so I thought about embarking on this adventure on my own. This implementation is beautifully simple and one more example of extending Cake's power. I have tried to enumerate the implementation in a few steps. I hope it will be easy for everyone to follow.

You just need one line in your view and throw an array with data and a title to the helper and you're done.

It could be extended with a SOQL dialect (I would love this).

I don’t know anyone who does.The downfalls of CAPTCHAs are many - hard to read, annoying, impossible for those with vision difficulties - and the benefits are slim. So, I came up with an alternative: a plain text math question to ask the user. This component generates a random equation and registers the answer as a session variable. The programmer can then check the form submitter’s answer against the session-registered answer using the validation function provided in the component.
