    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.

    "Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video."

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!
