I like the idea. It is hard, but here are some possible questions:
"What is the first name of the Finn who created the Linux operating system?" "What is the abbreviation for the GNU C Compiler?" "What is the name of the simple text editor that comes with Windows?" "Complete the phrase: ____ screen of death" "What is the name for a billion bytes?"
I have no idea if those will faze spammers.
Those questions will certainly keep away non-geek spammers. We could make a quiz-like anti-spam system with not-so-trivial questions :)
