The classic stories brought a smile to my face for a long time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

funny that i had to remove weight of my initial digit since the CAPTCHA (rule10) :>

The captcha could itself add up to more than 25, making an immediate game over

You can request a new captcha without restarting

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.

Same boat. I tried doing some parenthetical math (X-III)(III+II) but it doesn't work.

Just use XXXV? No need to do 5 * 7

Neal has outdone himself yet again. I had it until the roman numerals and adding upto 25 ones but lost my cool when it said it must include today's wordle answer. Screaming and crying.

I gave up when I needed to represent the best chess move in algebraic notation, but I couldn't because the text from the captcha I had to solve earlier contained an illegal move... rage

It works if you put the chess move before the captcha

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…

The notation for capturing should be something like "Nxe6." I'm guessing the mistake you're making is just doing "Ne6"

Also, add "+" at the end if you're putting the king in check.
