Go to the control panel, to the section "Textual Confirmation". What's the content of the text field with question and answers? Copy it here.

Ok I am still having bots pass this TC.
Not as many, it seems comparing what ones get in to the ones that dont on the emails, and then testing out the questions that come up at random
it seems that they are getting past the questions " are you human " and
" say hello " I can not delete these 2 questions, they just come right back.
And I am unable to locate them in the code...

Can you give me an idea where to find them at ??

As I understand correctly, the following happens:

1) You changes the content of the text area to:

2) You presses the button "Submit"

3) The first two questions return back.

Am I right?

Do you get any messages after the step 2?

correct.
I added the 5 passcode questions, removed the 2 others, and they just come right back.

Its says the following after I try to remove them...

Old question(s) deleted:

Most likely, while installing Textual Confirmation, the database script db_update.php was run several times. Therefore, the database contains several copies of the default questions. Repeat the procedure of deleting the questions several times.
