A warning to future players: I got to rule 16 and was given an egg named paul that I had to keep safe. Then on rule 18 a fire (of emojis) broke out in my password, killing paul and ending the game. Dont be like me, keep Paul safe.
I gave up after having to include a leap year (Rule 15), I don't know if this is a spoiler but I ended up with January99Pepsi?XXXVggd7maboutZrJapan (there was an emoji in there for the current moon phase but HN stripped it out) Looking at the code it should be possible to get a lot further, in theory. Wonder how Paul is doing!
The country is randomized; mine was Albania (that was NOT easy to figure out!)
Spoiler: There is !1d and !2d, followed by coordinates.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah I think there's a bug with the chess notation, I also had it tell me Rh3 was illegal notation. Interestingly Rf3 is not illegal notation but an illegal move for me.
I thought I had this issue, but it turned out I had to remember the "+" at the end, when I put my opponent in check
This isn’t really significantly more irritating than half the password “rules” forced on me by major companies who ought to know better. “A special character…” Okay, how about: “ “No, not THAT special!! (Shh, we are worried about a SQL injection attack… in your password… which we dont even know how to escape)” Let the many implications sink in for a minute.)
This turns into a mildly frustrating riddle as some of the challenges are random (captcha, Street View, chess challenge) and end up making it impossible to continue. Got my number added up from the captcha and the best chess move came to be Qh6 (I would need a chess master to disagree with me) so I'm already busted on the add to 25 and then it tells me the "Qh6" notation is illegal (Ok, I was never good with chess no…
- roman numerals must multiply to 35
- my chess move is: Rf7+
- Atomic numbers of elements must add up to 200
So I need V, VII and Rf7+ in there but then the atomic numbers are way past 200 already.
VIIJuneVShell65$bw6n6aboutHecroatia0000 so far. Croatia was extraordinarily hard to guess. Currently stuck on the chess game, if anyone has generic advice on how to not suck at chess. Fun bonus: it can't seem to figure out what's going on with the knight. Using "K", "N", or "S" for knight all get me "invalid notation" warnings. I'm having a lot of fun. New update: got the chess answer! It will accept "N" for my Knigh…
I got a (seemingly?) impossible problem: - roman numerals must multiply to 35 - my chess move is: Rf7+ - Atomic numbers of elements must add up to 200 So I need V, VII and Rf7+ in there but then the atomic numbers are way past 200 already.
