### Example of interaction
First a client makes a POST request with empty body to create a new CAPTCHA and obtains an ID for it.
POST /
As a result we get an ID `n60f2K9JiD5c4qX9MYe90A54nT0nnJrtgfhAjfaWtBg`.
Then a client requests an image for a new CAPTCHA. E.g. with a dark style.
GET /n60f2K9JiD5c4qX9MYe90A54nT0nnJrtgfhAjfaWtBg/image?style=dark
Then a client submits an answer for a CAPTCHA.
POST 'answer=198807' /n60f2K9JiD5c4qX9MYe90A54nT0nnJrtgfhAjfaWtBg
And if answer was correct a client gets a HTTP code 202. Or 403 otherwise.
Then a server checks if CAPTCHA was solved with following request.
GET /n60f2K9JiD5c4qX9MYe90A54nT0nnJrtgfhAjfaWtBg
