How'd you solve it (rule 16)?

I'm completely stuck on it... I've tried every single combination that came to mind :/

I'm stuck at "iatetomatoesyesterday0265Z#521juneVpepsiVIIxngxcaboutAg[moon emojis]italy2020Bf7+" trying to solve the chess notation puzzle.

Can you please tell me? I've been stuck on it for an hour and a half.... I really need help ;-;

Amazing !

Died after the URL, it was too much to recalculate the atomic numbers and keep track of Paul. Maybe this chicken was the most unfair part of this game, the random captcha and country make it impossible to retry easily (maybe the time frame for feeding could be slowed down); but loved everything else, really ingenious.

Got to the youtube video length url, but then I overfed Paul. Hilarious and frustrating at the same time :D.

I found the video, it's by the United Nations, only for Paul to starve. What did the UN ever do for us, eh?

doh, of course the video length is randomized.
