Why am I getting the message "An error occurred submitting the CAPTCHA' all the time now?

Question

When I try to post an answer on MSE, this box comes up (as usual):

So I check the box and complete the CAPTCHA:

When I try to submit it, this error comes up:

^{click any image for full size}

I haven't been able to post answers for about 2 days.

I tried logging out, and back in. Same issue. I tried restarting my router (had it off for about 10 minutes), nothing happened.

As a workaround, you could try passing Captcha by moving your mouse around after checking the box (so that it doesn't come to typing in the letters). — user259867, Commented Feb 12, 2015 at 21:58
@Mooseman, That worked. typed some characters and posted as answer from laptop, then copied/pasted test answer on this computer. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/248442/… — Frank, Commented Feb 12, 2015 at 22:01

Based on the fact that posting an answer worked from another computer, I'm going to say the following:

Clear your cookies, cache, etc.

Opening developer console(Ctrl+Shift+I) in Chrome, checking Network->Disable cache and refreshing the page helped me.
