Pure genius! I had my agent hit the endpoint and I realized it returned a jumble of text: "if 七 wor~kers co.mplet/e{ | a job in 十七} days but 四 ] quit a^ft|e?r ^ day_ 三 ~ how many to{tal da[y;s> to fin>i?sh" but it was in japanese! Unfortunately my agent proceeded to solve the reverse CAPTCHA and got back the API key. So, I asked it to keep hitting the endpoint again until it returned another CAPTCHA that was in japanese kanji and it did (without solving it this time) and I got "a s:tore h?as ^ 二十 pe@rcent off< items- over 五十 : dollar;s and 八 ~ percent } of\f> ; i]te[ms u~nd~er: # 五十 do/ll@ars wh-ats } the c.omb>ined pri|c;e of a 一 百 二十 一 dollar item a]nd> a* 九 dollar} i!tem" And this time I was able to translate that into "a store has 20 percent off items over 50 dollars and 8 percent off items under 50 dollars what's the combined price of a 121 dollar item and a 9 dollar item?" I solved it and got 1210.8 + 90.92 = 105.08. I will admit I messed up a little bit on translating the kanji and I got a little assistance from my agent pointing out that I was wrong, but overall this was good fun, well done!

Absent any distinctive Japanese scripts or other Japanese writing in context, it probably makes more sense to call those Chinese characters, since those characters for numbers were taken directly from Chinese and still retain the same/original meanings in both languages

There's probably like 100m+ people for whom this reads like slightly jumbled math problems.
