If my memory serves me well, in the beginning you could have ticked only one(or two) fields to prove that you are not bot and 5 times per day ticking wasn't required.
Now it is pain to solve it with all these next buttons, but still, it can be bypassed.
When captcha is bypassed, it is not hard to run script to claim faucet from thousands accounts.

There is an advanced settings pane for recaptcha administrators that lets the administrator tune the hardness of the checks. Maybe most administrators doesn't even know it exists and it defaults to medium if I remember correctly and on that setting it goes nuts most of the times with the infinite next next next loop. By setting it on easy it's more normal and it can be solved in a human manner without being driven crazy all the times.

At the top the slider for tuning the security checks from normal (left) to super crazy bugged/infinite looped (right).
