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.
That’s a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.

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:
Pepsi2004assnbcgb🌔wordVII114355!JuneVTRAcTKuwaitFor the chess rule, you may need an x before and a + after.
PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P
Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard…
I think I will quit at this point.
“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…
Got to rule 14 with this one:

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.
My captcha and chess move add up to more than 25 😢

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?
Let me just say: screw Paul and his inability to pace himself when eating. I just gave him a bunch of food to satiate him and he decided to eat it all at once and die from overeating…
Cool concept though!
