Yes, they are.
Here's my (shameless plug) rather simple explanation of how it works.
The long and short of it though, is that only half of any given reCAPTCHA is known, and you can usually bypass it somewhat persistently by just guessing that half.
Also interesting that I attributed its function as "contributing to the common good", while I infer the intent of this post as suspicious of nefarious motives. I suppose either stance makes sense with the appropriate amount of skepticism.

There are some good tips and links here, but I don't understand the "hacking" metaphor. There are no big secrets. It all comes down to the "always be coding" idea that was presented a few months ago [1]. It just takes discipline and time-management. Succeed at that and many offers will come your way.
