Well. I got stuck. Rule 9: The Roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35 Rule 14: Name this country (Malasysia for me) Given that M=1000 in roman numerals, I need to find x such that x*1000=35 How do I write 0.035 in Roman Numerals?!

Change it to “malaysia”. It accepts lowercase for country name and only recognizes uppercase as Roman numerals.

ƧƧ is a decent approximation (that's two backwards capital S glyphs, if it doesn't render)

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…

If it included a check Qh6+ could have been the answer?
