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 tag teamed with someone and they were constantly counting to make sure Paul got fed while I tried to find a 23m03s YouTube video
I got a text HOURS saying “I can still hear myself counting” lol

“Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video.”
lol
Careful with Paul. He may starve.

but 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.
- Black616Angel ( @Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de ) English5•1 year ago
Just select all and make it bold! 😉
- Frankie ( @Frankie@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year ago
Which will probably come back to bite you
I think I will quit at this point.
OK, I may have hit a wall with this one.

Im on the same bit atm and put the match into a chess bot but it tells me illegal move everytime i try
- hschen ( @hschen@sopuli.xyz ) English8•1 year ago
FUCK i killed paul
Who is Paul? Why is he killed? So many questions. And I’m still stuck at the chess board…
- hschen ( @hschen@sopuli.xyz ) English4•1 year ago
I used this for the chess https://www.nextchessmove.com/, and you will find paul soon, just dont delete him by accident. The syntax was Qh6+ for the chess but it will differ for you
Thanks. That helped. I got Paul now. The suspense is killing me :D
- hschen ( @hschen@sopuli.xyz ) English2•1 year ago
Idk what im missing but i cant get past the number of elements and idk how long this will take to solve haha
I think I managed to save Paul from fire.
- ruffsl ( @ruffsl@programming.dev ) English3•1 year ago
My captcha included an invalid chess move, so a had to regenerate a different captcha:
Hunter 913 VII April Shell bdg84 about He 🌔 Venezuela

You can leave in the illegal move. You only have to include the correct one also.
- dakerDraws ( @dakerDraws@pawb.social ) English9•1 year ago
Oh this is hilarious! I could accept each absurd rule up until I had to play Wordle, then I called it quits. But I kinda want to continue and see how high it goes.
Edit: Now stuck on chess
Edit 2: Oh no! I panic deleted during the fire.
- GTG3000 ( @GTG3000@programming.dev ) English9•1 year ago
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.

- juliebean ( @juliebean@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year ago
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

One day I might solve this, but this day is not today.
- Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) English2•1 year ago
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…
- Dimitriye98 ( @Dimitriye98@programming.dev ) English5•1 year ago
Only uppercase letters get treated as Roman numerals, same for periodic table. The real killer one for those two is YouTube url
- Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) English1•1 year ago
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. 😠
- embix ( @brezelradar@feddit.de ) English2•1 year ago
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.
- tram1 ( @tram1@programming.dev ) English9•1 year ago
I did 32nd Rule but I broke Rule 5. I wasn’t going to juggle the hex colour, the length of the password, the captcha, and the youtube url, so that the numbers add to 25… Don’t know if it’s possible even…
edit: 31 to 32 was hard, I added a before pic as well, had to change strategy.
- embix ( @brezelradar@feddit.de ) English4•1 year ago
Did you make it to rule 34? If it is not releated to “Rule 34”, I’d be disappointed.
Impressive. I never got past the YouTube URL. But I refresh the captcha until it doesn’t contain any numbers so that it doesn’t mess with the “25”. Still, it the YouTube video contains too many numbers, then it’s difficult.
- tram1 ( @tram1@programming.dev ) English6•1 year ago
Didn’t even think that the captcha could be numberless… And now that I look at it youtube urls had no number… F***!
Maybe it’s a good think I quit, I have work to do :P

- JRaccoon ( @JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de ) English7•1 year ago
That was fun! Kinda hit the wall at the youtube link rule. Couldn’t find a way to search YT videos by exact length, so you either need to get super lucky and find one randomly or upload such a video yourself. Then you better hope the video URL does not contain any roman numerals… All while keeping Paul fed (but not overfed!)
I think at that point the game requires two players cooperating. One searches for YouTube videos while the other is feeding Paul.
- Sternout ( @Sternout@feddit.de ) English4•1 year ago
Same, this was also my limit.
- Dimitriye98 ( @Dimitriye98@programming.dev ) English2•1 year ago
I got through YouTube by searching for
speed run “mm:ss”
since speedrun videos usually have the speedrun time in the title. Then it’s just a matter of searching for speed runs of slightly shorter times than it until you happen across a video which is both of appropriate length plus or minus the one second tolerance it gives, and which doesn’t kill either your Roman numerals or elements
- TechieDamien ( @TechieDamien@lemmy.ml ) English7•1 year ago
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!
- tram1 ( @tram1@programming.dev ) English7•1 year ago
PAUL HAS STARVED is the most evil thing :P
Also I got Madagascar, which was kind of hard…
- Ruorc ( @Ruorc@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year ago
I accidentally overfed him, which I guess is just as bad due to the Dark Souls themed overlay lol.
- juliebean ( @juliebean@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
i did too. i had to wander around for ten minutes before i found a sign that helped me make a guess.
