I've lived my whole life in the US and have about 20/20 vision (used to be slightly better than 20/15), and I'd estimate my reCaptcha pass rate around 20%.

The puzzles are just badly done, it's not even a vision or knowledge thing.

Yeah. The puzzles are terrible now, and I have a strong suspicion that they're no longer testing to see if you behave like another human, but instead testing you to see if you act like their own machine vision bot.
