All rules in this game! 1. Your password must be at least 5 characters. 2. Your password must include a number. 3. Your password must include an uppercase letter. 4.

Your password must include one of our sponsors. (pepsi/…

You can't pass 36. Just saying.

Honestly not sure how you'd pass the youtube one, unless you were incredibly lucky

I loved the Google maps street view bit. I couldn’t exit street view and the road signs were in Cyrillic. Had to walk a long way before I could search for some landmarks and guess Belarus.

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…

Yeah, I got Croatia in the Geoguessr section, which means I can't possibly multiply roman numerals to 35, since C is 100.

Let me guess. You often think it's a bug in the compiler.

This would be great to use on my sites so users choose stronger passwords. Is there an api planned, or is it open source?

Needs to have the actual password obscured, e.g. with asterisks.

In fact, also the length should be obscured, show nothing, as is the way in Unix password prompts!

You can use a lowercase c, and it won't count as a roman numeral.

Amazing. I've always wanted a similar game card readers:

Remove your card before the clerk gets annoyed at you. The screen is flashes various messages like "PLEASE REMOVE YOUR CARD after the TRANSACTION IS COMPLETE". Push the card too hard and the reader falls off the table. Pull at an angle or too slow and it drags the reader.
