    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.

    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.

    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 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

    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…

      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.

        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

    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!
