Did anyone else get the periodic table elements that must add up to 200 atoms? I'm not sure, but I think it was impossible since my captcha included an "Nd".

You can change the captcha using the refresh button next to it. But Nd is not a problem. Its atomic number is 60. You need to add up to 200. Fm: 100, Zr: 40. I knew that memorizing atomic numbers would pay back some day :P
Ohh, I'm dumb. I mistook atomic number for atomic weight. English is not my first language. Thank you!
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!)
Same, this was also my limit.
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.

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?

That's the stuff! I chickened out at the chess question.

That will be solved with the browser's dev tools, I guess 😇
Paul info within
spoiler
To keep Paul alive for a long time you can put newlines in front and the newlines get removed before the food does, but it doesn't overfeed.
even with the above I couldn't ever find a video of length 24:45. the youtube timers are all a second or two off. I wasn't gonna upload one, so my final solution was (youtube url was incorrect)

I created a video of the correct length using the Windows built-in video editor and uploaded that. The problem is, to get this right, the link cannot have roman numerals (except for I and V) and the atomic weights cannot be too high.
So I kept re-uploading until I had a URL without roman numerals and without high atomic weights.
And then I took too long thinking about the next thing, even though it was trivial, and that dumb chicken starved.
I created a video of the correct length using the Windows built-in video editor and uploaded that.
That's the spirit.
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.
One day I might solve this, but this day is not today.
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 😢
Redraw (f5?) or use other browser.
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
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.
i gave up in the google maps lmao
Since maps only works in iframes and I my browsers don't like that. After a dozen attempts to brute force, I considered it fair to put a breakpoint in js and look at the stack (a habit I gained after playing untrusted ). I only glimpsed at the code for what was still ahead. When I encountered the chess question I decided to go finally to bed - since that wasn't the last rule or even close. I guess Friday after work would be the best time to start this again.
