Up down up down X O Start!

Give you a 10 second time limit to put it in.

you fail, you lose the synth, I know this does not stop other forms of botting, but every element helps.
So make crafting more painful for legitimate people? Take a moment and think about how frustrating it would be for someone to have to type 4 random characters every synth for almost 300 synths (what it takes for 49-50 roughtly). What about people that use a keyboard only?

Crafting is tedious enough now as it is. Don't hurt legitimate players to combat botters.
