The Password Game
I lost at rule 35 (out of 36) because I overfed Paul.<p>Some tips I gathered:
9. Use XXXV, as the chemical symbols contained in (V,VII) add up 152, which is already very close to 200 for rule 18;
10. Refresh the captcha so that it only includes lowercase letters, you&#x27;ll need numbers later and they can&#x27;t add up to more than 25 according to rule 5;
14. Pray for having a country with a short name, whose first letter isn&#x27;t also a chemical element and that includes common letters (curse you Zimbabwe);
15. I think 4 is a leap year...
17. Put Paul at the start or the end of your password;
19. You can bold the whole string to meet the condition, but beware of rule 26. Also, before meeting the condition, copy-paste your password elsewhere;
20. Just select the fire and some more characters and delete them, then fill the gap from your copy-pasted password;
22. Use &quot;i am loved&quot; (all lowercase, cf. rule 18) as you&#x27;ll need to sacrifice two letters for rule 25, but you will already use &#x27;o&#x27; for youtu.be, &#x27;v&#x27; for XXXV, &#x27;e&#x27; for youtu.be, and probably &#x27;l&#x27; and &#x27;d&#x27; in your captcha, URL (cf. rule 24) or color (cf. rule 28). Also, it&#x27;s the shorter word of the three, and for rules 32 and 33 it&#x27;s simpler to add padding symbols than to remove mandatory characters to control the length of the password;
23. Try to have between 2 and 6 max worms at any time, it should give you enough time to think without overfeeding Paul. 9 worms will definitely kill Paul (maybe less, but 6 should be safe);
24. On Chrome, you can use the &quot;YouTube Time Filter&quot; extension to find videos of the correct timelength. On YouTube, type a very generic request (like &quot;game&quot;, &quot;car&quot;, or even just &quot;p&quot;), open the filters and choose &quot;Video&quot; (to filter out shorts) as well as a length range (to reduce client-side filtering) then in the YouTube Time Filter insert a length range one second before and one second after the required range (the game has a one second leniency). Then scroll and scroll. Of course, once you find a suitable video, strip any superfluous parameter from its length, and make sure that the video id doesn&#x27;t include any uppercase &#x27;M&#x27;, &#x27;D&#x27;, &#x27;C&#x27;, &#x27;X&#x27; (because those roman numerals don&#x27;t multiply to 35, cf. rule 9) and preferably no &#x27;V&#x27; or &#x27;I&#x27; (because of rules 9 and 18). It&#x27;s hard, but with a bit of patience, it doable. Also use the short URL (youtu.be, not youtube.com) and trim the &quot;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www</a>.&quot;, you don&#x27;t need them;
25. If you applied those tips correctly and you were lucky on the captcha and the country, you should be able to strip the letters &#x27;w&#x27; and &#x27;z&#x27; at the very least. Other letters if you were very lucky (maybe try to choose another month for rule 6 if it can make you unuse a letter, or maybe you should have used &quot;i am enough&quot; ?);
26. Just put the whole string in italics;
28. Refresh until you have a color without numbers (or 0 at most), for rule 5;
32. It&#x27;s better to have 123 characters than 97 (cf. rule 5);
33. Sorry, I meant 113. Other probable candidates, depending on your current password length are: 101, 103, 113, 131, 151, 211, 223, 233, 311 and 313. Other numbers are fine too, but it&#x27;s up to you to see if you can have them depending on your URL and chess move. Maybe include 8 padding symbols at the end of the password, in prevision to rule 35. Know that the length will vary when you feed Paul, but the length should usually be correct;
34. Just skip this one, really;
35. Unfortunately, I didn&#x27;t pass that one as I overfed Paul, but I think it would be easier to play around midnight, ideally at 00:00:00, because you know, rule 5. But make sure to write it at 23:59 and change the police size to 0px before midnight, so every rule can be met at midnight. Not sure if the seconds are needed or not, since I didn&#x27;t pass it.
