As a someone who frequently argues with IT teams over ridiculous hidden password rules that drive crappy user experience I feel triggered by this game.
This is fantasticll
My company finally went to a non expiring multi-word based policy. Took them a major breach but finally some sanity.
I hate Paul…
I made it up to rule 25 and then Paul starved because I was thinking too long about which characters to ban.
To make it over Rule 24 (Paste the URL of a Youtube video with a certain random length), I even created a video with the correct length and kept uploading it to Youtube to get a URL without roman numerals and decently usable atomic weights.
When I tried it again after that dumb chicken starved, I hit Youtube’s maximum daily upload limit. Now Youtube thinks I am a spambot or something.
Btw, there are 35 rules total, in case anyone else makes it over 24. And spoiler, the one that got me doesn’t matter at all. It’s one of the easiest of all.
Do you know what all the rules are? Could you perhaps put it in a spoiler quoted comment? I’m not about to get through all of these rules lol.
That’s a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.
“Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video.”
lol
Careful with Paul. He may starve.
Also this:
I quit after I got that…
PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P
Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard…
I thought I was so smart spamming the caterpillars into the password. I overfed Paul.
The funniest moment has to have been when I Googled “9 minute 34 second Youtube video” and there was at least one video literally titled “9 MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS TIMER COUNTDOWN [574 seconds - 9:34]” and the video was 9 minutes 49 seconds long. I proceeded to Google different numbers of seconds looking for one that hit the perfect number and literally none of the videos, despite seemingly hundreds of videos of very specific times happened to fall on the 9 minute 34 second mark. Like, what insane world is happening in the great depths of Youtube where people spend hours posting completely arbitrary timers on Youtube, but specifically avoid ones that are 9 minutes, 34 seconds in length. I felt set up. I was rolling in laughter. 10/10 would spend my night Googling Youtube timers and overfeeding an emoji chicken again.
I figured out what random country I got dropped into was, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the best chess move. Made it though up to rule 16 with this:

I think I will quit at this point.
OK, I may have hit a wall with this one.
My captcha included an invalid chess move, so a had to regenerate a different captcha:
Hunter 913 VII April Shell bdg84 about He 🌔 VenezuelaYou can leave in the illegal move. You only have to include the correct one also.
Got to rule 14 with this one:

Reminds me of https://youshallnotpass.glitch.me/. But this one is even harder. :D

LMAO this game is amazing. I got to rule 25 with this bad boy
Semplice1!2711shellJanuaryV🥚Sixngxctract🌔norway2004Qxb7+🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️VIIamloved🐛🐛🐛🐛https://youtu.be/QfUYWkPNDqUbut fucking Paul starved as I was converting all the vowels to bold. If anyone’s wondering why there’s a link in there, rule 24 required you to put the URL of a YT video with a duration of exactly 11 minutes and four seconds. Will probably be different for you, if you try it.
Just select all and make it bold! 😉
My captcha and chess move add up to more than 25 😢
You can change the captcha by refreshing it using the button next to it
I gave up around the roman numbers because I chose to include
May…Think I should try again.
edit: okay, I’m going to call it on the Wordle rule.
im case you tackle it again, the month does not need to be capitalized, and if its lower case, it doesn’t count as a roman numeral
Shortly after the Wordle rule I got told I had to include the country Colombia. Which, with an L, made it impossible to multiple Roman Numerals to equal 35…
Only uppercase letters get treated as Roman numerals, same for periodic table. The real killer one for those two is YouTube url
For me it wouldn’t even let me copy/paste a YouTube URL. Trying to do so kept automatically pasting in the title of the damn video. 😠
it wouldn’t even let me copy/paste
It’s so real, right?
I hate when they forbid c/p password fields - that’s so stupid and even lessens security.

Chess Move Solver:
What killed me was trying to feed the chicken while hunting for a YouTube video of a certain length. I did get past that once when I was lucky enough to be asked for a 9 minute 0 second video. Because people upload “timer” videos of exactly X minutes, that was possible. The “26 minute 59 second” video resulted in a dead chicken.
What the hell is a gibbous and why does it need waxing?
